Description
Ignite a positive approach to math in your classroom with Carrie S. Cutler's Math-Positive Teaching, part of the Growing the Mathematician in Every Student series. This book dismantles the belief that only a few are capable of learning math, proving instead that everyone can learn and teach it. With practical routines, content examples, and strategies for embracing mistakes, Cutler provides thoughtful methods to encourage students, from basic counting to complex algebra.
K-5 teachers will:
- Develop classroom routines and teaching strategies to cultivate math-positive mindsets
- Build confidence in explaining and demonstrating math concepts using diverse methods
- Reduce math anxiety through revised assessment practices that promote math positivity
