Drawing on her extensive research with thousands of students, author Jo Boaler revealed how teachers, parents, and other caregivers can transform children's ideas and experiences of math through a positive growth mindset method. In her book Mathematical Mindsets, she shows how the entire approach to math teaching and learning - from paying attention to the math questions and reviewing the tasks students work on to the methods teachers and parents use to encourage or grade students - needs to be changed to help students realize the joys of learning and understanding math.
