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 first-grade level through visualization, play, and investigation.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDuring 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 \u003ci\u003eMindset Mathematics\u003c\/i\u003e 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 \u003ci\u003eMindset Mathematics\u003c\/i\u003e reflect the lessons from brain science that:\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003eThere is no such thing as a math person - anyone can learn mathematics to high levels.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eMistakes, struggle and challenge are the most important times for brain growth.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eSpeed is unimportant in mathematics.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eMathematics is a visual and beautiful subject, and our brains want to think visually about mathematics.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e \u003cp\u003eWith engaging questions, open-ended tasks, and four-color visuals that will help kids get excited about mathematics, \u003ci\u003eMindset Mathematics\u003c\/i\u003e 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.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eIntroduction\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eLow Floor, High Ceiling Tasks\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eYoucubed Summer Camp\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eMemorization versus Conceptual Engagement\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eMathematical Thinking, Reasoning, and Convincing\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eBig Ideas\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eStructure of the Book\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eActivities for Building Norms\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eEncouraging Good Group Work\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePaper Folding: Learning to Reason, Convince, and Be Skeptical\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eBig Idea 1: Seeing Patterns inside Numbers\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eVisualize: Visualizing Numbers\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePlay: What Could It Be?\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eInvestigate: How Flexible Is a Number?\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eBig Idea 2: Building and Designing with Shapes and Angles\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eVisualize: Tile It!\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePlay: Those Crazy Rep-Tiles\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eInvestigate: Polyiamonds\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eBig Idea 3: Making and Naming Number Patterns\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eVisualize: Finding Fibonacci\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePlay: Pattern Carnival\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eInvestigate: All Hail!\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eBig Idea 4: Units Are a Relationship\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eVisualize: It’s All in the Axes\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePlay: Measure Up\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eInvestigate: 10,000 Steps\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eBig Idea 5: Modeling with Unit Fractions\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eVisualize: Perplexing Measures\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePlay: Tangram Designs\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eInvestigate: Pixeled Fractions\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eBig Idea 6: Fraction Equivalence\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eVisualize: Painting Pieces\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePlay: Color-Coding Fractions\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eInvestigate: Tiling Rectangles\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eBig Idea 7: Illustrating Multiplication and Division\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eVisualize: Visual Proof\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePlay: Cover the Field\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eInvestigate: Table Patterns\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eBig Idea 8: Using Operations Flexibly\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eVisualize: How Crowded Is the Crowd?\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePlay: Target 20\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eInvestigate: Supply Parade\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eBig Idea 9: What Is a Decimal?\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eVisualize: Finding the Better Deal\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePlay: Decimals on a Line\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eInvestigate: Can You Make It?\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eAbout the Authors\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eAcknowledgments\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eIndex\u003c\/p\u003e   \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eJO BOALER\u003c\/b\u003e is a professor of mathematics education at Stanford University and co-founder and faculty director of youcubed.
