  MATH-ish:  Teaching Mindset Mathematics

  Across the Grades

  Scientific evidence shows there is a different way to teach and learn mathematics. When people take a “mindset mathematics” approach, in all grades, different pathways open up, leading to higher, and more equitable achievement.

  A mindset mathematics approach involves teaching math(s) as a conceptual subject, highlighting the connections between ideas, and giving students mindset messages as they learn.

  Join Jo Boaler, along with Cathy Williams, in Exploring:

  • New evidence of the learning practices that separate low and high-achieving students.
  • Teaching ideas and approaches that can help all students achieve highly.
  • Topics including number sense, algebra, and data literacy across the grades
  • Teamwork on mathematics instructional approaches.
  • Research behind the approaches.
  • Videos of the approaches in action.

  The target audience includes, but is not limited to:

  • Classroom teachers of mathematics
  • Math/instructional coaches
  • Directors of teaching and learning
  • Building leadership teams
  • Building/district administrators
  • Educators of All Grade levels

  Jo Boaler, Professor of Mathematics at Stanford University, is a leading advocate for innovative teaching methods in mathematics, with a focus on:

  • Improving Mathematical Understanding
  • Delivering equity in education
  • Emphasizing the importance of flexible thinking, problem-solving, and collaborative learning.                                

  Dr. Boaler is co-founder of youcubed, a Stanford center that offers mathematics education resources to teachers, students, and parents. She is one of the original authors of the California Department of Education’s Mathematics Framework adopted in 2023. Author of numerous books and articles on math education, Jo aims to transform how mathematics is taught and learned, making it more accessible and engaging for all students.
