Описание книги

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 fourth-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 math 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.

Отрывок из книги

The Leadership Habit provides the framework for patterns of behavior that will transform the way you lead. The book is both a leadership resource and a call to action. It asserts that leaders who form daily habits in 10 key areas will be more successful in developing productive teams and in building long-term professional and personal growth. Organizations thrive best when leaders (1) drive for results, (2) build the right teams, (3) influence others, (4) understand the business, (5) execute vision, (6) encourage excellence, (7) develop positive relationships, (8) develop customer focus, (9) foster innovation, and (10) model personal growth.

Leading can be a strenuous mental and physical activity. Deciding on higher performance and excellence is a mental commitment to discover or rediscover how to lead and a physical commitment to do something to create the change. Developing the leadership habit takes time and daily practice.

Together, they went to the nursery where their friend gave them all her best suggestions for growing the plant. They bought the best soil and compost, a pot to put it in with good drainage, and she helped them decide the exact spot by a window that would provide the best light. After returning home, Jim planted the seed.

A few weeks passed, and nothing at all had changed with the seed. Frustrated, Jim exclaimed, “I don't think your friend knows what she's talking about!” His wife responded, “Let's give it some more time.” A few more fretful weeks went by and still nothing!
