Mindset Mathematics: Visualizing and Investigating Big Ideas, Grade 5

I can't say enough about how great Jo Boaler's Investigating Big Ideas series is. The activities will really transform both your maths classroom and- more importantly- your students' achievement in, and relationship to, mathematics. I had so many notes from parents and students this past May telling me how much this year of math activities had changed their student's mindset and turned the from being "not a math person" into a lover of maths!! HIGHLY recommend!!

The format is for a classroom and not the greatest for homeschoolers, but I'll take what I can get. It's a fantastic resource. I'll update my review if I come across more errors, since it seems the author has not issued an errata. (and there doesn't seem to be a way to reach them from their website?)

I purchased this book after seeing Jo Boaler speak. I have read it throughly and started using activities in my classroom. All of my students love learning math using growth mindset and are excelling regardless of their level, disability, or language. I am waiting patiently for the grade 6 book due to come out in January 2019.

I wish it had pictures of the projects it talks about

This is a wonderful product. I’m a math tutor and I love having a tool that helps me help my students gain a deeper conceptual understanding. Most of the tasks are designed for group work and I have no problem adapting for individuals. Overall a great tool!

I love that this book is only 5th grade. It gives you a different perspective and great ideas of how to introduce and teach concepts. I can read a chapter and walk away with a ton of ideas to incorporate in the classroom immediately.

I love this book! It has many ideas that you can find on the youcubed.com website but they are layed out in such a nice, user-friendly format! I recommended my principal to get for all the grade levels that they are made for so far (3-5 grades.)

These lessons are fun and interesting ways to get kids to engage with math. I’ve even done some of them with older students who struggle with math and they like them!

The book is well laid out with easy-to-plan and execute lessons. Everything is ready to go, with blacklines available for projection or copying. The book makes use of Visualize-Play-Investigate to get students engaged in the material from all angles. It's a fantastic resource for any teacher!

Jag fick aldrig mig beställning och INGEN information om den. Det har gått 4 månader!!!

Me encantaron las ideas propuestas. Las he empezado a trabajar con mis alumnos y son muy enriquecedoras

Fabulous resource can’t recommend this highly enough. Gets children thinking outside the box.

For any teacher looking to engage their students in mathematical thinking, who hope their students will see the beauty of mathematics, who is ready to move beyond teaching mathematics as a set of procedures to be memorised, this is a great place to start. Philosophy, research and practise combined in an accessible and thought-provoking guide.
