Mathematical Mindsets
Mathematical Mindsets
Hosted by the Washington State Math Council
Presenters
- Dr. Jo Boaler
Description
This course unpacks the teaching approach that was used in an 18-lesson intervention that raised the achievement of students learning mathematics by the equivalent of 2.4 years of school. In that teaching intervention, Jo Boaler taught sixth and seventh graders by giving the students new knowledge of the brain, mindset and mathematics learning. She and other facilitators taught through open, creative mathematics.
This online course includes over 30 videos of the teaching and interviews with students. It also includes interviews with mindset guru Carol Dweck and leading mathematician Steve Strogatz. The course will be helpful for teacher and leaders of mathematics, K-16. It consists of short videos interspersed with various thinking tasks—such as reflecting on videos, designing lessons ideas, and discussing ideas with peers in the class—to promote active engagement.
This course is self paced and can be taken at any time (30 clock hours). Participants, who successfully complete the course, will be awarded a Record of Completion.
