We have started off the year with a Week of Inspirational Math. Each day, students were presented with open, creative, and visual mathematics lessons. Jo Boaler, a professor of mathematics education at Stanford, developed these mindset videos and accompanying activities. Jo Boaler developed the following is a list of positive norms for math class.
  • Everyone can learn math to the highest levels
  • Mistakes are valuable
  • Questions are really important
  • Math is about creativity and making sense
  • Math is about connections and communicating
  • Math is about learning not performing
  • Depth is more important than speed
