About this listen

Banish math anxiety and give students of all ages a clear roadmap to success!

Mathematical Mindsets provides practical strategies and activities to help teachers and parents show all children, even those who are convinced that they are bad at math, that they can enjoy and succeed in math.

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.

There is a clear gap between what research has shown to work in teaching math and what happens in schools and at home. This book bridges that gap by turning research findings into practical activities and advice. 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. Boaler reveals the steps that must be taken by schools and parents to improve math education for all.

I am trying to improve maths teaching in my school..... I expected more tips from this TITLE.....not chapter after chapter of research.

disappointing

No other book or resource has impacted my teaching practice as much as this one. The ideas Jo Boaler presents here have informed the redesign of my teaching program and enabled me to bring a love of and curiosity about maths to hundreds of not thousands of students since first reading it.

The most important book in mathematics teaching

I prefer Jo Boaler’s reading style (on her other Audible title, Limitless Mind) than this narrator.

good content, but would prefer Jo reading it herself
