The name "Jo Boaler" has become synonymous with the application of "growth mindset" to the subject of learning mathematics. Boaler has co-authored a series of books filled with collections of high ceiling, low threshold tasks aimed at specific grade levels that are designed to engage students in rich mathematical experiences through visualization and investigation. The tasks are developed to reflect the latest brain science on learning and focus on the big ideas most relevant to the specified grade level. Having received high praise from various users of the books for grades 3, 4 and 5, Boaler has now added a book for grade 6 to the collection. "Mindset Mathematics: Visualizing and Investigating Big Ideas in Grade 6" is the fourth in the series, which offers a unique, research-based visual approach to exploring the big ideas in mathematics, which is essential to future mathematics success. This hands-on resource is for any teacher who wants to engage their sixth-grade students in reasoning and persisting through problems and provides activities that will engage students' interest and show them the many ways that mathematics is important in their lives.
