5.0 out of 5 stars Perfect!
Perfect quality, what I was looking for. Book arrived in perfect condition.
4.0 out of 5 stars Thought-provoking
Covers an important topic.I meet far too many people whose learning from 10+ years of instruction in mathematics is that they can't do it. It is hard to believe that continuing to do what we have always done will fix this problem and Boaler's book provides evidence-based, practical alternatives.Would have benefited from more rigorous proof-reading (at least in the Kindle edition), e.g. FOIL is a mnemonic not a pneumonic.The chapter on sex differences relies heavily on works that are controversial.

From an educator's point of view: If you want ideas and understanding to support the shift in math instruction with the CCSSM in the U.S. I think this book would be helpful.

The Elephant in the Classroom
Not having a child currently in school and the fact that this book is several years out of date I cannot comment on what is currently happening in maths classrooms in the UK or the US. what I can say is that the content of this book came as a revelation to me. As someone who enjoyed the processes in maths but, due to dyslexia/dyscalculia could never remember the formula's so went up and down streams like a yo yo depending on which formulas I was remembering at any one time and who left school believing I was a maths failure. To this day I still can't remember my times tables. This book has reignited my wish to explore maths again. It is worth reading as a parent or teacher and to at least open up the debate that there may be alternatives to traditional teaching techniques which will suit some of your children or students, whatever their age. I came to this book as a result of a friend studying these techniques on a short course and then applying them to a small group of children she was tutoring. I was fascinated and wanted to learn more and this is a good introduction to what the techniques are and why they work. I do not believe one teaching technique will work for every student which is why it is so important for parents and teacher to remain open minded and be willing to consider alternatives to traditional methods. I had never come across this ethos before but I am now eager to explore it further; not just in maths but other subjects as well.
Muy recomendable
Muy recomendable para padres y profesores, y para quienes nunca nos han gustado las matemáticas. Yo diría que es de obligada lectura.
Excellent Maths Book
This is such an interesting read if you're a maths teacher like me, or, I'm sure, if you're a parent as well. I'm totally sold on the (well backed up) idea that maths needs to be taught in a creative and imaginative way to really inspire children. She makes some really good points about the learning of boys vs girls, and group teaching that I think every maths teacher should think about. It also includes creative puzzles as examples, ranging from easy to the really tricky, some of which I've used to good effect with my students. It's a shame that so many people become disillusioned with such a wonderful subject, and this book gives some clue as to why that might be, and how we might go about preventing that. Solid, excellently backed up, easily readible book, raising good points with some interesting and useable solutions. I'd recommend to anyone, whether a teacher, parent or struggling student!
Quite good
It is more of a theoretical view rather than a practical one. It gives you lots of other authors that have previously worked around math education problems. If you are looking for simple graphic, down to the point techniques may be this book is not for you (or me...).
