Developing Mathematical Practices and Deepening Understanding Grades 4-10
Written by Cathy Humphreys and Ruth Parker, foreword by Jo Boaler. Making Number Talks Matter helps teachers have a perfect start to every math class. In a really short span of time (fifteen minutes or so), teachers can provide students with some of the greatest opportunities- number talks can change students views of mathematics. Cathy Humphreys has been instrumental in extending number talks in to the secondary level and has studied their use with High School students as well as with graduate students at Stanford University. Together in this book Cathy and Ruth have developed incredible knowledge of the best wats to teach Number Talks with students of all grade levels.
My Kids Can Making Math Accessible to All Learners, K-5 edited by Judy Storeygard and forword by Deborah Schifter. All teachers of mathematics face the challenge of teaching the range of students in their classrooms. Faced with students who lack confidence and struggle in areas, each chapter of this book looks at the broad principle: assessing students' understanding as a way of making decisions about how to proceed, making the mathematics explicit and helping students become independent learners. This book also comes with a DVD which includes math-classroom footage showing strategies in action.
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.
The Big Ideas that convey the core concepts of mathematics are at the heart of this new book that gives early childhood educators the skills they need to organize for mathematics teaching and learning during the early years. For teachers of children ages three through six, the book provides foundations for further mathematics learning and helps facilitate long-term mathematical understanding. It’s the perfect guide for those who want to focus their instruction on mathematics that is central, coherent, and rigorous. In it, readers see clearly why building early foundations in math matters, why teachers’ understanding of foundational math matters, and why the methods used to teach it matter.
A critical read for teachers and parents who want to improve children’s mathematics learning, What’s Math Got to Do with It? is “an inspiring resource” (Publishers Weekly). Featuring all the important advice and suggestions in the original edition of What’s Math Got to Do with It?, this revised edition is now updated with new research on the brain and mathematics that is revolutionizing scientists’ understanding of learning and potential.
As always Jo Boaler presents research findings through practical ideas that can be used in classrooms and homes. The new What’s Math Got to Do with It? prepares teachers and parents for the Common Core, shares Boaler’s work on ways to teach mathematics for a “growth mindset,” and includes a range of advice to inspire teachers and parents to give their students the best mathematical experience possible.
