Pro Tip: Math Talks Build a Thinking Classroom

Today’s math curriculum is teaching students to expect -- and excel at -- paint-by-numbers classwork, robbing kids of a skill more important than solving problems: formulating them. Dan Meyer shows classroom-tested math exercises that prompt students to stop and think.

Imagine how it will feel when your students can approach a math problem without getting frustrated. The way they think about math and numbers is a way that will help them solve any problem, even as they progress into different grade levels. Not only will they have a solid base of mathematical knowledge, but you did it without using worksheets and timed tests.

Instead, you have activities that you and your students enjoy, that build important mathematical ideas, and don't take you forever to plan and prepare (i.e. you will NOT be waiting for the copier or the laminator anymore).

By focusing your fluency tasks on building your students' flexibility, you'll be starting with the foundation of number knowledge that will help your students build connections to all other areas of math. You will be building math minds and not just create calculators.

The Building Elementary Math Fluency Kit starts with helping you understand what fluency really entails, how to build that fluency when it comes to the basic facts, and what kinds of activities you can be doing to build true fluency for students. Grab your Fluency Kit using the form above.

Elementary educators: watch this video series and get your FREE Building Math Fluency Starter Kit. Yes, even if you are a parent at home educating your child, a teacher doing online teaching, or a teacher back doing face-to-face learning, this series is for you.

The term "growth mindset" comes from the groundbreaking work of Carol Dweck. She identified everyone holds ideas about their own potential. Some people believe that their intelligence is more or less fixed and in math - that you can do math or you can't. About 40% of students have these damaging "fixed mindset" ideas. Another 40% have a "growth mindset" - they believe that they can learn anything and that their intelligence can grow. The other 20% waver between the two mindsets.

Students with a fixed mindset are those who are more likely to give up easily, whereas students with a growth mindset are those who keep going even when work is hard, and who are persistent. The two mindsets are associated with different achievement pathways as the papers on this page show. It is possible to change mindsets - my student online class which can be accessed under courses - has been shown to shift students' mindsets from fixed to growth and cause higher mathematics achievement. There are a range of resources on this page - a poster of math norms, a strategizer card with lots of teaching ideas, a short video to boost students' mindset, and some interesting short papers.
