Riassunto

A unique maths book, Adventures in Math builds students' social-emotional skills in maths by debunking common myths that inhibit learning and confidence. Rather than teaching readers how to master maths concepts, it urges them to change their mindset about maths altogether. Using stories and practical tips, it encourages readers to be curious when faced with maths problems, to accept that there will be setbacks in solving them and to recognise the creativity at the root of doing maths. And, just as important, it helps readers understand math's relevance in their own lives through fascinating stories about real people who have used maths to do amazing things. Author Carleigh Wu is a maths coach who wants to help middle schoolers rethink their attitudes about maths and their ability to do it well. Guided by research-based, high-impact teaching practices, she speaks directly to readers, providing them with information to build their resilience and confidence. By instilling a growth mindset, Wu shows readers that with practice and effort, they can get better at maths. She even includes a writing challenge at the end of every chapter to help readers reflect on and digest what they've learned. Many curricula now require social-emotional learning in math, and this is the perfect resource to build those lessons from. The inviting text and Sean Simpson's friendly illustrations keep the pages easy to navigate and explore. A list of sources and an index are included.
