Free Stanford Education Course: How to Learn Math
The class just began and I am really enjoying it. The class is for parents, teachers and of course, homeschoolers. It is designed to make you a better teacher in math by changing the student's perspective on math. She will be designing a similar course for students after the summer.
- This course is free.
- It is from Stanford Math professor, Jo Boaler.
- It runs from July 14, 2013 through September 27, 2013.
- If you complete at least 85% of the sessions and activities, you will receive a Statement of Accomplishment.
- If you don't have the time or energy to do the activities, you can still just watch the videos and contemplate the questions she asks without responding.

- Knocking Down the Myths About Math
- Math and Mindset
- Mistakes, Challenges, and Persistence
- Teaching Math for a Growth Mindset
- Conceptual Learning Part I: Number Sense

ABOUT THE AUTHOR
I have been homeschooling since 2009, but have been reading about it since 2003. Homeschooling is rapidly growing. Whether you are a veteran or new to homeschooling, I hope to filter some of the vast amounts of information for you
