GROWTH MINDSET
Jo Boaler, Professor of Mathematics Education at the Stanford Graduate School of Education and author of Mathematical Mindsets: Unleashing Students' Potential through Creative Math, Inspiring Messages, and Innovative Teaching, was one of the first to apply growth mindset to math achievement. You can learn how to use the power of growth mindset for yourself and your students here:

YummyMath

We provide teachers and students with mathematics relevant to our world today …
We’ve created Yummy Math to provide teachers with an easy way to bring real-life into their math classrooms. It is our belief that when math is explored in contexts that are familiar and of interest to students, students will be more engaged to do math, reason, think critically, question and communicate.
