In this episode, Dr. Bob speaks with Dr. Jo Boaler, a professor at Stanford University. Dr. Boaler discusses in detail about mathematics teaching and learning – in particular, how different teaching approaches impact students’ learning, how to teach mathematics for a “growth mindset”, and how equity is promoted in mathematics classrooms. Dr. Boaler also talks about the misconception that we should learn and process math information rapidly – and why faster is not better. There is a wealth of knowledge and invaluable information in this conversation that every parent and educator should hear. A must listen episode!
