Mathematical Mindsets

We Need to ‘Revolutionize’ How We Teach Math Says Stanford’s Jo BoalerMath: For many it's hard to learn and hard to teach. But is it an inherently challenging subject or are we making it more difficult than it needs to be? In her new book "Mathematical Mindsets," Stanford professor Jo Boaler calls on educators to adopt new tools and techniques that make learning math less of a chore for students.

Week of Inspirational MathThis week is about inspiring students through open, beautiful and creative math. We have chosen the different tasks so that students see math as a broad, interesting and visual subject that involves deep thinking. Students will learn important growth mindset messages that will help them feel confident, try harder all year, persist with open and difficult problems and embrace mistakes and challenge. All tasks are low floor and high ceiling – they are accessible to all students and they extend to high levels.

How Jo Boaler Hopes To Mold Math MindsetsBoaler — who teaches at Stanford — says there are obvious flaws in a system that uses stressful tests to decide who's got a brain for math and hopes to build mathematical curiosity with memorization.

Learn math without fear, Stanford expert saysProfessor Jo Boaler says students most effectively learn "math facts" working on problems they enjoy, rather than through exercises and drills they fear. Timed testing and blind memorization damage children's experience of math, she says.

Timed Tests and the Development of Math AnxietyTimed math tests can transform children's brains, leading to low math achievement even among highly capable students, writes Jo Boaler.
