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 sixth-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.
