Tato autorka zkoumá hluboká spojení mezi matematikou a lidským myšlením. Její práce odhaluje, jak můžeme přehodnotit náš vztah k matematice, abychom odemkli kreativitu a řešení problémů. Prostřednictvím svého psaní povzbuzuje čtenáře k přijetí růstového myšlení a objevování krásy a logiky matematiky. Cílem je ukázat, jak jsou matematické principy všudypřítomné v našem životě a jak jejich pochopení může vést k hlubšímu vhledu a inovacím.
"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, "--Amazon.com.
"The most challenging parts of teaching mathematics are engaging students and helping them understand the connections between mathematics concepts. In this volume, you'll find a collection of low floor, high ceiling tasks that will help you do just that, by looking at the big ideas at the first-grade level through visualization, play, and investigation"--Publisher's description
"Each grade level's materials will be structured as a single volume for teachers. Each volume will include a collection of mathematical tasks focused on the big mathematical ideas in the grade level that create space for students to engage in (1) visual mathematics, (2) play, and (3) investigation. For each big idea the text will unpack for teachers the big ideas and how to look for student thinking around these ideas to make instructional decisions. It will address the questions: What is the big idea and why is it important? How do students learn this big idea? What should I look for in student thinking and strategies? Further, each activity or task will be accompanied by ideas for how to launch and how to facilitate discussion after the activity. Activities in the three areas -- visual math, play, and investigation -- will be provided as reproducibles"-- Provided by publisher
"This series targets the mathematical practices directly and will help teachers engage students in things like problem solving, reasoning and persisting through long problems, all important goals of the Common Core Standards as they help prepare students for using math in real life. The materials will be equally important to teachers who do not use the Common Core as there is widespread awareness that students need to engage more actively and learn how to problem solve and reason. In their work with tens of thousands of teachers across the US, teachers have told the authors they would like to focus on the "big ideas" in math, but they do not know which they are. This series will focus upon the core conceptual ideas at each grade level, such as those of multiplication, place value or fractions, which will enhance students' achievement across the curriculum"-- Provided by publisher
Reverse mathematics trauma and find a universal blueprint for math success In Mathematical Mindsets: Unleashing Students' Potential through Creative Math, Inspiring Messages and Innovative Teaching 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.
This revised and expanded edition presents compelling evidence comparing the effectiveness of traditional versus reform teaching methods in mathematics. Originally published in 1997, it offers insights backed by research, making it a significant resource for educators seeking to enhance their teaching strategies. The book aims to inform and improve mathematics instruction by analyzing various approaches, ultimately contributing to the ongoing discourse on educational practices.
This book offers an engaging exploration of mathematics, catering to both enthusiasts and skeptics alike. It presents complex concepts in a relatable manner, making it enjoyable for those who typically struggle with math. Through a blend of humor and clarity, it demystifies mathematical ideas, encouraging readers to appreciate the subject's beauty and relevance in everyday life.
Engage students in mathematics using growth mindset techniques The most challenging parts of teaching mathematics are engaging students and helping them understand the connections between mathematics concepts. In this volume, you'll find a collection of low floor, high ceiling tasks that will help you do just that, by looking at the big ideas at the eighth-grade level through visualization, play, and investigation. During their work with tens of thousands of teachers, authors Jo Boaler, Jen Munson, and Cathy Williams heard the same message--that they want to incorporate more brain science into their math instruction, but they need guidance in the techniques that work best to get across the concepts they needed to teach. So the authors designed Mindset Mathematics around the principle of active student engagement, with tasks that reflect the latest brain science on learning. Open, creative, and visual math tasks have been shown to improve student test scores, and more importantly change their relationship with mathematics and start believing in their own potential. The tasks in Mindset Mathematics reflect the lessons from brain science that: There is no such thing as a math person - anyone can learn mathematics to high levels. Mistakes, struggle and challenge are the most important times for brain growth. Speed is unimportant in mathematics. Mathematics is a visual and beautiful subject, and our brains want to think visually about mathematics. With engaging questions, open-ended tasks, and four-color visuals that will help kids get excited about mathematics, Mindset Mathematics is organized around nine big ideas which emphasize the connections within the Common Core State Standards (CCSS) and can be used with any current curriculum

A recent assessment of mathematics performance around the world ranked the United States twenty-eighth out of forty countries in the study. When the level of spending was taken into account, we sank to the very bottom of the list. We are falling rapidly behind the rest of the developed world when it comes to math education-and the consequences are dire. In this straightforward and inspiring book, Jo Boaler, a professor of mathematics education at Stanford for nine years, outlines concrete solutions that can change things for the better, including classroom approaches, essential strategies for students, and advice for parents. This is a must-read for anyone who is interested in the mathematical and scientific future of our country.
