Book 1 of 9: Mindset Mathematic (9 books)
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.

Great resource.

Visualising Maths is the clue! Jo has a huge imagination when it comes to Maths activities. She allows students time to invertigate and to verbalize the things that they notice. Jo and others have inspired me to start my own Youtube channel to contribute to this idea: visualising Maths is the clue!

Great activities to encourage multidimensional math. Used it right away!

Jo Boaler’s research has proven time and again that all students can learn mathematics. It is not an elite subject. Use this material as an engaging way to involve and immerse students in the beauty of maths.

Adoro l’autrice e sto comprando tutti i libri della serie. Però i contenuti dei vari livelli tendono a sovrapporsi, quindi trovo le stesse attività su più libri. Preferirei che ogni libro descrivesse attività sempre diverse, per non avere doppioni.

Loved this item!

These projects are amazing. I love prepping for them and my students love doing them. We shared them with parents and other teachers during conferences and the parents were very impressed. The projects supplement our standards well.

It’s a great book but just know that you as the parent or teacher have to stay continuously involved while you work through the book
