Description
Jo Boaler's groundbreaking guide to finding joy and understanding in mathematics presents a fresh approach to learning math that eschews one-size-fits-all methods. By embracing diversity and multi-faceted approaches, we can unlock our greatest mathematics potential.
Mathematics is an integral part of life, yet each person has a unique relationship with learning and understanding the subject. Research by Dr. Jo Boaler reveals how embracing the concept of "math-ish" - a theory of mathematics as it exists in the real world - changes the way we think about mathematics, data, and ourselves.
By recognizing the value of diversity among people and approaches to learning math, we can truly flourish. This book shares new neuroscientific research that sheds light on how to make mathematics accessible and enjoyable for everyone.
