Mathematical Mindsets 2nd Ed

Description

Unleashing Students’ Potential through Creative Mathematics, Inspiring Messages and Innovative Teaching

In this book mathematics education expert and best-selling author Jo Boaler delivers a blueprint to banishing math anxiety and laying a foundation for mathematics success that anyone can build on.

Perfect for students who have been convinced they are naturally “bad at math,” the author offers a demonstration of how to turn self-doubt into self-confidence by relying on the “mindset” framework.

Mathematical Mindsets is based on thousands of hours of in-depth study and research into the most effective—and ineffective—ways to teach math to young people. This new edition also includes:

• Brand-new research from the last five years that sheds brighter light on how to turn a fear of math into an enthusiastic desire to learn
• Developed ideas about ways to bring about equitable grouping in classrooms
• New initiatives to bring 21st century mathematics to K-12 classrooms

Mathematical Mindsets is ideal for K-12 math educators. It also belongs on the bookshelves of the parents interested in helping their K-12 children with their math education, as well as school administrators and educators-in-training.
