Drs. Ronald Beghetto and Jo Boaler discuss the evolution of mathematics over time, common misconceptions and assumptions. Boaler talks about how her best selling books and website youcubed.org have taught millions of teachers, parents, and students on the best practices in this subject.
Ronald Beghetto talks with Jo Boaler about how she believes we are at the tipping point in math education with a data science movement. She explains that the math system is perpetuated from content and curriculum developed in the 1800s that is still present in standards, testing, textbooks, and teaching methods of today. Boaler knows math is a creative vehicle for thinking about the world and problem solving, if we just change the way it is taught. Boaler’s 8 books and youcubed.org contain resources and lessons for teachers, parents and students to help them develop a mathematics mindset.
