Description
The Power of Mathematical Mindsets
Mathematics. Just the word itself can bring about feelings of anxiety and apprehension in students of all ages. But what if there was a way to banish math anxiety and give every child a clear roadmap to success in this subject? That's exactly what Jo Boaler, a renowned Stanford researcher and professor of math education, explores in her audiobook Mathematical Mindsets.
Unleashing Math Potential
In her extensive research, Boaler has discovered that many students not only dislike math, but they also believe that they are simply bad at it. This mindset can be detrimental to their learning and overall academic success. However, Boaler argues that there is a way to change this negative perception and help students realize that they can actually enjoy and excel in math.
Through practical strategies and activities, Mathematical Mindsets provides teachers and parents with the tools they need to show students that math is not something to fear, but rather an opportunity for growth and personal development.
A Bridge between Research and Practice
One of the main issues Boaler addresses in her book is the gap between what research has shown to be effective in teaching math and what actually happens in schools and at home. She emphasizes the importance of translating research findings into practical activities and advice that can be implemented in real-life educational settings.
Additionally, Boaler draws on Carol Dweck's renowned concept of "mindset" and applies it specifically to math teaching and parenting strategies. By fostering a growth mindset in students, Boaler believes that they can overcome self-doubt and develop strong self-confidence, which is crucial for successful math learning.
Improving Math Education for All
Boaler not only provides strategies for individual teachers and parents, but she also highlights the steps that must be taken by schools and educational institutions to improve math education on a broader scale. She advocates for a shift in the way math is taught and assessed, encouraging a focus on conceptual understanding rather than rote memorization.
Mathematical Mindsets is an audiobook that challenges the traditional notions of math education and offers practical solutions for transforming the way children learn and engage with math.
