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 kindergarten-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\u003e\u003cb\u003eIntroduction 1\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eLow-Floor, High-Ceiling Tasks 2\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eYoucubed Summer Camp 3\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eMemorization versus Conceptual Engagement 4\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eMathematical Thinking, Reasoning, and Convincing 5\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eBig Ideas 9\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eStructure of the Book 9\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eA Note on the Structure of Kindergarten 15\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eNote on Materials 17\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eManipulatives and Materials Used in This Book 17\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eBig Idea 1: Understanding the Physical Quantity of Number 21\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eCount a Collection 23\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eHow Many Do You See? 30\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eMaking a Counting Book 40\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eBig Idea 2: Using Fingers as Numbers 47\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eFeeling Fingers 49\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eShow Me with Your Fingers 64\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eHand Mirrors 70\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eBig Idea 3: Talking about and Making Shapes 77\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eTalking about Shapes 79\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eMake a Shape 93\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eBuilding Blocks 97\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eBig Idea 4: Seeing Numbers inside of Numbers 103\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDot Talks 105\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eSnap It! 118\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eWhich is More? 123\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eBig Idea 5: Putting Numbers Together 135\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eGrowing Bigger and Bigger 137\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eRoll the Dice 144\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eFoot Parade 151\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eBig Idea 6: Describing and Sorting Objects 159\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eSorting Supplies 161\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eSorting Emojis 168\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eSorting Buttons 174\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eBig Idea 7: Seeing and Making Patterns Everywhere 181\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eA World of Patterns 184\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDIY Patterns 195\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eKinder Dance Party 200\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eBig Idea 8: Stretching Counting toward 100 205\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eCounting Larger Collections 207\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eMaking a Collection 213\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eHundred Chart Patterns 219\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eAppendix 231\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eAbout the Authors 235\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eAcknowledgments 237\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eIndex 239\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.
