Engage students in mathematics using growth mindset techniques

The most challenging parts of teaching mathematics are engaging students and helping them understand the connections between mathematics concepts. In this volume, you'll find a collection of low floor, high ceiling tasks that will help you do just that, by looking at the big ideas at the eighth-grade level through visualization, play, and investigation.

During their work with tens of thousands of teachers, authors Jo Boaler, Jen Munson, and Cathy Williams heard the same message--that they want to incorporate more brain science into their math instruction, but they need guidance in the techniques that work best to get across the concepts they needed to teach. So the authors designed Mindset Mathematics around the principle of active student engagement, with tasks that reflect the latest brain science on learning. Open, creative, and visual math tasks have been shown to improve student test scores, and more importantly change their relationship with mathematics and start believing in their own potential. The tasks in Mindset Mathematics reflect the lessons from brain science that:

  • There is no such thing as a math person - anyone can learn mathematics to high levels.
  • Mistakes, struggle and challenge are the most important times for brain growth.
  • Speed is unimportant in mathematics.
  • Mathematics is a visual and beautiful subject, and our brains want to think visually about mathematics.

With engaging questions, open-ended tasks, and four-color visuals that will help kids get excited about mathematics, Mindset Mathematics is organized around nine big ideas which emphasize the connections within the Common Core State Standards (CCSS) and can be used with any current curriculum.

An Ice Cream Cone for Dogs Who Have Never Paid Taxes
Style: Frosty Cone, Size: Small (Pack of 1)
Bought this for my dog thinking it would provide “a few minutes of enrichment.” It became an event. The second I pulled this thing out of the freezer, my dog reacted like I had personally returned from a heroic quest carrying the sacred treasure of his ancestors. Absolute full-body joy. Olympic-level tail wagging. The rubber feels sturdy, the opening is easy to fill, and freezing treats inside keeps him occupied long enough for me to answer emails, drink coffee, and briefly remember who I was before becoming a full-time employee of a small furry creature. I’ve filled it with peanut butter, yogurt, treats, and one regrettable attempt involving pumpkin puree that turned my kitchen into a seasonal crime scene. Best part: it’s durable enough to survive enthusiastic chewing without immediately looking like it lost a fight with a lawn mower. Five stars. My dog now stares at the freezer with religious devotion.

Great treat toy especially for frozen treats
Style: Chilly Penguin, Size: Medium/Large (Pack of 1)
This is cute! Very solid and chewable. To ensure a longer play time it does great for popping in the freezer after filling with peanut butter, yogurt, pumpkin, applesauce, broth, dog ice cream etc ... It's been so much cleaner and easier than putting it in a dish; the treat lasts longer and the dog is entertained longer. Whether frozen or not, this toy is very easy for my dog to get everything / lick clean. It's very easy to clean either putting in the top shelf of dishwasher or hand washing with a bottle brush. Treat of no treat, this is entertaining for my dog. He likes to simply run around with it in his mouth or randomly chew on it. This is different from his balls or bones because it's kind of flat and thin. Good buy and great to help cool him off from the warm weather.

Dogs love the treats hidden within
Style: Chilly Penguin, Size: Small (Pack of 1)
The treat holding penguin is ideal for feeding treats, frozen and otherwise, to your loving pets. I have put yogurt, applesauce, mashed bananas, and other treats inside the penguin. The puppies love licking the yummy treats out of the penguin. It occupies them for quite a while. The only thing is that they are not very easy to clean. I use a small soft brush after soaking them in hot water.

wonderful - best dog toy on the market!!
Style: Chilly Penguin, Size: Small (Pack of 1), Style: Chilly Penguin, Size: Small (Pack of 1)
my 10.6 lb shih tzu mix loves these. yes, they are durable. this is the third dog on some of them. i fill with diluted baby food mixed with 3 drops honey, carrots in todays, or peanut butter and a tad of jelly mixed with water, or water with unsalted cooked veggies like broccoli or cauliflower stems and carrot bits, or baked and mixed with water sweet potato. she eats just anout any vegetable. the water is to reduce calories as i had to take 3 lbs off her when i got her. and yes, they stack nicely. when i let her out of her crate, she looks and grabs it and puts it on the kitchen floor for a refill. her idea, not my training but i like it. this is an addition to my previous review. as far as i'm concerned, this is the best toy on the market for very small dogs. my dog has been at target weight for 2 years now and i restrict her treat calories to a strict 21 kcals daily. she is also now a working dog. i have now done frozen greek yogurt with apples and blueberry baby food diluted, kibble mixed in water. wet dog food diluted with water etc. i leave her in her crate with one and two cameras on her, one two way audio and she has stopped all barking and dutifully brings the toy and actually deposits it in my hand when i let her out of the crate. every 2-3 days it's like a new toy flavor and no toys have and tooth marks or anything on them. they're used daily. understand this lil 10.6 lb dog goes thru nylon power chews regularly so she's super capable of destroying toys but i think the little bit of food satisfies her with the penguin and 2 1/2 years in, she has no desire to destroy them. i now own 8 of these as 2 stay in her travel bag. we would be heartbroken if the company quit making these penguins. fantastic product. the small would even have worked for my 5 lb papillons had they made them then.

Great durability and utility
Style: Chilly Penguin, Size: Medium/Large (Pack of 2)
I love the size of these and the sturdiness. I freeze bone broth and put it in the crate or give it to dogs when it gets warm out. To help them cool or help them with teething. They have decimated other holders of frozen liquid, but these have lasted well. They also do not get sharp edges when chewed on by English bulldogs.
