Professeure d'éducation à l'université de Stanford, Jo Boaler a développé une
méthode révolutionnaire pour en finir avec les préjugés sur nos capacités d'apprentissage.
En se fondant sur les dernières recherches en neurosciences, elle propose
six clés qui révèlent le potentiel extraordinaire de notre cerveau, à commencer
par trois principes essentiels :
Principe n° 1 : notre cerveau est en perpétuelle croissance.
Principe n° 2 : nos erreurs sont nos meilleures alliées.
Principe n° 3 : nous pouvons changer notre cerveau en changeant nos croyances.
Parler trois langues, devenir une bête en calcul, jouer de la clarinette : contrairement aux idées reçues, tout cela est possible, peu importe notre âge. Il suffit de se lancer !

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.
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 fifth-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 mathematics 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.
