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

Everyone teaching or understanding maths should get on board with Dr. Boaler’s thinking.

I liked how author said that everyone is capable of learning and doing math and described the strategy for doing so.

Every time I hear about kids who think they’re bad at math, I recommend this book to their parents. And Limitless Mind too. We discount kids way too quickly these days, and Dr. Boaler provides the guidance we need to start validating and supporting them.

Very repetitive- drives home the point that we need more number sense in our math teaching and less memorizing rules- more hands on and multidimensional approaches. More real world problems. Some good ideas for such activities.

The book gives great insight on how to change one’s thinking about math.

A lot of good practices and mindset shifts for educators and students.
I highly recommend “Building Thinking Classrooms” for further study
