Into the jungle -- Better together -- Helpful mistakes -- Create it! -- Bullet holes and pie charts -- It all adds up
"Adventures in Math builds students' social-emotional skills in math by debunking 5 common math myths, including: People either have a brain for math or don't (fixed mindset vs. growth mindset); There is only one right answer and one way to find that answer (resilience, perseverance); Math isn't creative (mistakes have value, try different approaches, be open to new perspectives). Through stories and practical tips (supported by the latest research), kids will feel encouraged and empowered to approach math in creative ways and appreciate its relevance in their lives. For kids to excel in math, they need to see themselves as capable and see the subject as worthwhile. The proposed book could be the go-to SEL-in-math resource for middle-grade students and teachers across North America."--
