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.
Concepts Covered
- 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
- Conceptual Learning Part II: Connections, Representations, Questions
- Appreciating Algebra
- Going From This Course to the New Mathematical Future
TEDTalks are a semi-annual lecture series where the goal is to give the talk of your life in 18 minutes or less. TED stands for Technology, Entertainment and Design, but the talks have grown so popular, they have branched out into many more topics. TEDTalks began in 1984, as a way to bring together the best ideas and people and share.
