So the authors designed Mindset Mathematics 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 Mindset Mathematics reflect the lessons from brain science that:


There is no such thing as a math person - anyone can learn mathematics to high levels.

Speed is unimportant in mathematics.

Mathematics is a visual and beautiful subject, and our brains want to think visually about mathematics.



With engaging questions, open-ended tasks, and four-color visuals that will help kids get excited about ma
