A week of inspirational math

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
