You can help banish math anxiety and give students of all ages a clear roadmap to success! Jo Boaler ― Stanford researcher, professor of math education, and expert on math learning ― has studied why students don't like math and often fail in math classes. She's followed thousands of students through middle and high schools to study how they learn and to find the most effective ways to unleash the math potential in all students.
Boaler translates Carol Dweck's concept of "mindset" into math teaching and parenting strategies, showing how students can go from self-doubt to strong self-confidence, which is so important to math learning. She reveals the steps that must be taken by schools and parents to improve math education for all, including understanding how the brain processes math learning, finding engaging activities to replace rote learning, and helping kids understand mistakes and struggles as valuable learning experiences. Mathematical Mindsets provides a proven, practical roadmap to mathematics success for any student at any age.
