书籍简介

来自斯坦福大学教授——数学教育领域的专家——以及《无限思维》一书的作者，这是一本通过采用多样化的数学学习方法来寻找快乐和理解的开创性指南。

数学是生活的基本组成部分，但我们每个人都与学习和理解这门学科有着独特的关系。 与数字打交道可能会激发我们对自己能力的信心，也可能会引起焦虑和恐惧。 斯坦福大学研究员、数学教育教授、数学学习领域的专家 Jo Boaler 博士认为，我们的差异是释放我们的数学潜力的关键。

在《Math-ish》中，博勒分享了新的神经科学研究，内容涉及拥抱“math-ish”概念（现实世界中存在的数学理论）如何改变我们对数学、数据和我们自己的思考方式。 当我们能够看到人与人之间多样性的价值以及学习数学的多方面方法时，我们就能真正自由地蓬勃发展。

乔利用数学教育的研究，指导我们遵循七个原则，这些原则可以从根本上重塑我们与数学教育的关系：

• 心态对学习的力量

• 利用可视化方法进行数学计算

• 身体运动和交流对理解的影响

• 了解数学思想在世界上的传播和意义

• 互联且灵活的知识的重要性

• 关于多种教学模式的新数据，这些模式适合不同的学习风格，而不是相反

• 学习数学及其他方面的多样性的价值

当数学被更广泛、更包容、更具有好奇心和游戏感时——当我们重视人们看待、处理和理解数学的不同方式时——我们就会赋予自己力量，并对其在我们生活中的价值有一个有益的理解。

From the Stanford professor—an expert in the field of mathematics education—and author of Limitless Mind, a groundbreaking guide to finding joy and understanding by adopting a diverse approach to learning math.

Mathematics is a fundamental part of life, yet every one of us has a unique relationship with learning and understanding the subject. Working with numbers may inspire confidence in our abilities or provoke anxiety and trepidation. Stanford researcher, mathematics education professor, and the leading expert on math learning Dr. Jo Boaler argues that our differences are the key to unlocking our greatest mathematics potential.

In Math-ish, Boaler shares new neuroscientific research on how embracing the concept of “math-ish”—a theory of mathematics as it exists in the real world—changes the way we think about mathematics, data, and ourselves. When we can see the value of diversity among people and multi-faceted approaches to learning math, we are free to truly flourish. 

Utilizing the latest research on math education, Jo guides us through seven principles that can radically reframe our relationship with the subject:

• The power of mindset on learning

• Utilizing a visual approach to math

• The impact of physical movement and communication on understanding

• Understanding the spread and significance of mathematical ideas in the world

• The importance of connected and flexible knowledge

• New data on diverse teaching modes that work with different learning styles, not against them

• The value of diversity in learning mathematics—and beyond

When mathematics is approached more broadly, inclusively, and with a greater sense of wonder and play—when we value the different ways people see, approach, and understand it—we empower ourselves and gain a beneficial understanding of its value in our lives.
