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\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\u003e\u003cb\u003eNote on Materials 17\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eManipulatives and Materials Used in This Book 18\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eActivities for Building Norms 21\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eEncouraging Good Group Work 21\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eHow Many Do You See?
