Mathematical thinking. Book for parents and teachers

Many students (and their parents too) are sure that they have no ability to mathematics. Although in fact, everyone can enjoy mathematics and achieve good results in its study. This was proved by Joe Bowler, a professor and researcher from Stanford, who studied how thousands of students and students study and how their potential can be revealed.

There is a large gap between the correct approaches and those that are observed in school and education now. Bowler adapted the breakthrough concept of "flexible consciousness" Carol Duke to teach mathematics, showing how to help students feel more confident.

Mathematics often seems boring, because for many it is a set of unconscious formulas and counting procedures with an incomprehensible use in life, as well as with the inexorable assessment: the wrong answer at the end crosses all efforts.

The author proposes to teach mathematics differently - primarily as logic. She talks about those steps that schools, teachers, teachers need to take, to improve mathematical education for everyone.

From the preface by Carol Duke, the author of the bestseller "flexible consciousness"
In this unique, wonderful book, Joe Bowler uses years of experience and deep knowledge in order to show teachers how to represent mathematical work, structure mathematical problems, direct students in the process of solving problems and ensure feedback in order to help students Form growth thinking and preserve it forever. Joe Bowler is one of those rare and outstanding teachers who not only know the secret of effective teaching, but can also share this gift with others. Joe Bowler studied thousands of teachers, this is what they say:

for school years ... I did not leave that I was stupid and not able to engage in mathematics .... I can’t describe in words the relief that I feel now due to the fact that I can not only study mathematics myself, but also explain to my students that they can also do it. ”

"I was looking for such a method of studying mathematics that would change the attitude of students with hostility for pleasure ... This is exactly the change that I needed.

Imagine how your students are happy to plunge into the solution of truly complex mathematical problems. Imagine how they ask to discuss their mistakes before the whole class. Imagine how they say: "I have the ability to mathematics!". This utopian vision is implemented in practice in educational audiences around the world, and if you follow the recommendations presented in this book, this may well happen in your class.

For whom the book
For teachers of mathematics, primary school teachers, parents who want the child not to be afraid of mathematics.
