Bad at Math? - Lidia Gonzalez

Math really is for everyoneâ ”so letâ ™s prove it.Youâ ™ve heard it from kids, from friends, and from celebrities: Iâ ™m bad at math. Itâ ™s a line that society tends to accept without examinationâ ”after all, some people just arenâ ™t math people, right?Wrong. As we do with other essential skills, we need to expose the stereotypes, challenge the negative mindsets, and finally confront the systemic opportunity gaps in math education, and replace them with a new vision for what math is, who itâ ™s for, and who can excel at it. In this book youâ ™ll find Research on teacher and student mindsets and their effect on student achievement Audience-specific and differentiated tools, reflection questions, and suggested actions for educators at all levels of the system Examples from popular media, as well as personal stories and anecdotes Quotes, data-driven figures, and suggestions for deeper learning on all aspects of a positive and equitable vision of math educationBoth social commentary and a toolkit of solutions, this bold new book directly challenges the constructs that have historically dictated our perceptions of what makes someone a math person . Only by dismantling those misplaced assumptions can we reform math education so it works for everyone. Because in truth, we are all math people.

And, just as important, it helps readers understand mathâ ™s relevance in their own lives through fascinating stories about real people who have used math to do amazing things. Author Carleigh Wu is a math coach who wants to help middle schoolers rethink their attitudes about math and their ability to do it well. Guided by research-based, high-impact teaching practices, she speaks directly to readers, providing them with information to build their resilience and confidence. By instilling a growth mindset, Wu shows readers that with practice and effort, they can get better at math. She even includes a writing challenge at the end of every chapter to help readers reflect on and digest what theyâ ™ve learned. Many curricula now require social-emotional learning in math, and this is the perfect resource to build those lessons from. The inviting text and Sean Simpsonâ ™s friendly illustrations keep the pages easy to navigate and explore. A list of sources and an index are included.

Undaunted Joy - Shemaiah Gonzalez

Does joy just seem too difficult to come by these days? Does it seem irresponsible or naïve? Maybe you don t feel like you can be joyful, don t know how to, or don t deserve to? In this collection of short essays on defiant joy, Shemaiah Gonzalez reflects on how she gradually learned to see joy not as an indulgence but as a necessity—a way of life and the fruit of faith. But her journey to joy was long. It had been so absent throughout much of her life that it felt foreign at first.Through her own stories, Gonzalez discovers along with you how joy is the fruit of knowing God. Like God, once you start looking for joy, you might start finding it everywhere. Like God, sometimes it initially feels unsafe. Perhaps these stories, of finding joy in laundry and Van Gogh s paintings of sunflowers, in daydreaming, and even in the darkest of places, will allow you to see life anew. Perhaps you will, like me, no longer wait for the big things to happen but will find there is abundance today. Each day holds joy in the mundane and the magnificent—we just need to learn to see. Over the course of these 37 essays, Gonzalez, vulnerable and lively, will draw you into a new way of seeing that will revolutionize your everyday. It s time to claim God s goodness and share it with abandon, not in spite of the brokenness of the world, but because of it.It s time to live joyously.

Open Middle Math - Robert Kaplinsky

This book is an amazing resource for teachers who are struggling to help students develop both procedural fluency and conceptual understanding.. --Dr. Margaret (Peg) Smith, co-author of5 Practices for Orchestrating Productive Mathematical Discussions Robert Kaplinsky, the co-creator of Open Middle math problems, brings hisnew class of tasks designed to stimulate deeper thinking and lively discussion among middle and high school students in Open Middle Math: Problems That Unlock Student Thinking, Grades 6-12. The problems are characterized by a closed beginning,- meaning all students start with the same initial problem, and a closed end,- meaning there is only one correct or optimal answer. The key is that the middle is open- in the sense that there are multiple ways to approach and ultimately solve the problem. These tasks have proven enormously popular with teachers looking to assess and deepen student understanding, build student stamina, and energize their classrooms. Professional Learning Resource for Teachers: Open Middle Math is an indispensable resource for educators interested in teaching student-centered mathematics in middle and high schools consistent with the national and state standards. Sample Problems at Each Grade: The book demonstrates the Open Middle concept with sample problems ranging from dividing fractions at 6th grade to algebra, trigonometry, and calculus. Teaching Tips for Student-Centered Math Classrooms: Kaplinsky shares guidance on choosing problems, designing your own math problems, and teaching for multiple purposes, including formative assessment, identifying misconceptions, procedural fluency, and conceptual understanding. Adaptable and Accessible Math: The tasks can be solved using various strategies at different levels of sophistication, which means all students can access the problems and participate in the conversation. Open Middle Math will help math teachers transform the 6th -12th grade classroom into an environment focused on problem solving, student dialogue, and critical thinking.

Productive Math Struggle - John J. SanGiovanni, Susie Katt, Kevin J. Dykema

Seldom has a book been as timely or as necessary as Productive Math Struggle is today. . . One of the remarkable accomplishments of SanGiovanni, Katt, and Dykema⠙s work lies in how they seamlessly connect the research on high-quality tasks, high expectations, identity, and equity to productive math struggle. This is perhaps their greatest contribution. The authors see productive math struggle as a critical feature of mathematics classrooms that support access, equity, and empowerment, specifically arguing that every student is ⠘worthy of struggle.⠙  From the Foreword by Matt Larson, Ph.D. Past President (2016-2018), National Council of Teachers of Mathematics Associate Superintendent for Instruction, Lincoln Public Schools, Nebraska Struggle is hard. Productive struggle is power. All students face struggle, and they should⠔it is how they learn and grow. The teacher⠙s job is not to remove struggle, but rather to value and harness it, helping students develop good habits of productive struggle. But what⠙s missing for many educators is an action plan for how to achieve this, especially when it comes to math. Persevering through difficult challenges to reach new learning is the core of Productive Math Struggle. When left unsupported, struggle can become unproductive and demoralizing, negatively influencing students⠙ mathematical identities. The authors guide teachers through six specific actions⠔including valuing, fostering, building, planning, supporting, and reflecting on struggle⠔to create a game plan for overcoming obstacles by sharing Actionable steps, activities, and tools for implementation Instructional tasks and vignettes representative of each grade level Real-world examples showcasing classroom photos and student work samples A book study guide is available under the Free Resources tab that helps math educators to learn together on how to incorporate productive math struggle in their classrooms. Revolving around the idea that math is a way of thinking and understanding, and not just the pursuit of answers and procedures, this book empowers students to embrace productive struggle to build essential skills for learning and living⠔both inside and outside the classroom.

Love and Math - Edward Frenkel

A New York Times Science BestsellerWhat if you had to take an art class in which you were only taught how to paint a fence? What if you were never shown the paintings of van Gogh and Picasso, weren t even told they existed? Alas, this is how math is taught, and so for most of us it becomes the intellectual equivalent of watching paint dry.In Love and Math , renowned mathematician Edward Frenkel reveals a side of math we ve never seen, suffused with all the beauty and elegance of a work of art. In this heartfelt and passionate book, Frenkel shows that mathematics, far from occupying a specialist niche, goes to the heart of all matter, uniting us across cultures, time, and space. Love and Math tells two intertwined stories: of the wonders of mathematics and of one young man s journey learning and living it. Having braved a discriminatory educational system to become one of the twenty-first century s leading mathematicians, Frenkel now works on one of the biggest ideas to come out of math in the last 50 years: the Langlands Program. Considered by many to be a Grand Unified Theory of mathematics, the Langlands Program enables researchers to translate findings from one field to another so that they can solve problems, such as Fermat s last theorem, that had seemed intractable before.At its core, Love and Math is a story about accessing a new way of thinking, which can enrich our lives and empower us to better understand the world and our place in it. It is an invitation to discover the magic hidden universe of mathematics.

Everyone should read this delightful book Ian Stewart, author of Do Dice Play God?The only numbers in this book are the page numbers.The three main branches of abstract math - topology, analysis, and algebra - turn out to be surprisingly easy to grasp. Or at least, they are when our guide is a math prodigy. With forthright wit and warm charm, Milo Beckman upends the conventional approach to mathematics, inviting us to think creatively about shape and dimension, the infinite and the infinitesimal, symmetries, proofs, and all how all these concepts fit together. Why is there a million dollar prize for counting shapes? Is anything bigger than infinity? And how is the truth of mathematics actually decided?A vivid and wholly original guide to the math that makes the world tick and the planets revolve, Math Without Numbers makes human and understandable the elevated and hypothetical, allowing us to clearly see abstract math for what it is: bizarre, beautiful, and head-scratchingly wonderful.

Na počátku bylo moře - Tomás González

Existuje-li v kolumbijské literatuře nástupce nobelisty Gabriela Garcíi Márqueze v mimořádně přesné a úsporné práci s jazykem, je jím bezesporu Tomás Gonzáles. Jeho prvotina Na počátku bylo moře pojednává o manželské dvojici J. a Eleny, kteří si přejí vymanit se z městské civilizace, žít u moře v přírodním prostředí. Za tímto životním snem se stěhují z kolumbijského velkoměsta na statek u Karibského moře. Počáteční radost z budování vystřídají finanční potíže, smutek z nekonečných zimních dešťů, Elenina neschopnost sžít se s místními lidmi i stupňující se konflikty mezi ústřední dvojicí. Latentní problémy a zlo číhají nejen v lidech, ale i v přírodě, krásné, ale přemáhající vše, včetně individuálních lidských snů a plánů. Vše spěje k neodvratné tragédii… Tomás González ve svých dílech zpravidla vychází ze skutečných událostí, které mísí s fikcí. To je i případ knihy Na počátku bylo moře. Inspirací k napsání této novely mu byla vražda staršího bratra, ke které z nejasných důvodů v pralese došlo. Autor přebývá na statku mimo městskou civilizaci a důsledně se straní tzv. literárního provozu. Zřejmě i proto získal od kritiků přídomek nejlépe ukrývaného tajemství kolumbijské literatury .

Mayra - Nicky Gonzalez

A haunting exploration of female friendship, desire, and memory set against the sultry backdrop of Floridaâ ™s swamplands. Itâ ™s been years since Ingrid has heard from her childhood best friend, Mayra, a fearless rebel who fled their hometown of Hialeah, a Cuban neighbourhood just west of Miami, for college in the Northeast. But when Mayra calls out of the blue to invite Ingrid to a weekend getaway at a house in the Everglades, she impulsively accepts. From the moment Ingrid sets out for the house, danger looms: The directions are difficult, sheâ ™s out of reach of cell service, and as she drives deeper into the Everglades, the wet maw of the swamp threatens to swallow her whole. But once Ingrid arrives, Mayra is, in many ways, just as she remembers â ” with her sharp tongue and effortless, seductive beauty, still thumbing her nose at the world. Before they can fully settle into the familiar intimacy of each otherâ ™s company, their reunion is spoiled by the reemergence of past disagreements and the unexpected presence of Mayraâ ™s new boyfriend, Benji. The trio spend their hours eating lavish meals and exploring the labyrinthine house, which holds as much mystery and danger as the swamp itself. Indoors and on the grounds, time itself seems to expand, and Ingrid begins to lose a sense of the outside world, and herself. Against this disquieting setting, where lizards dart in and out of porches and alligators peek up from dark waters, Gonzalez weaves a propulsive, unforgettable story about the dizzying power of early friendship and the lengths weâ ™ll go to earn love and acceptance â ” even at the risk of losing ourselves entirely.

He s good with his gun and is drawn to trouble but he s also out of money and out of options. A drought has ravaged the town of Dorado, Mexico, where he lives with his wife and children, and so when he hears about a train laden with gold and other treasures, he sets off for Houston to rob it-with his younger brother Hugo in tow. But when the heist goes awry and Hugo is killed by the Texas Rangers, Antonio finds himself launched into a quest for revenge that endangers not only his life and his family, but his eternal soul.In 1964, Jaime Sonoro is Mexico s most renowned actor and singer. But his comfortable life is disrupted when he discovers a book that purports to tell the entire history of his family beginning with Cain and Abel. In its ancient pages, Jaime learns about the multitude of horrific crimes committed by his ancestors. And when the same mysterious figure from Antonio s timeline shows up in Mexico City, Jaime realizes that he may be the one who has to pay for his ancestors crimes, unless he can discover the true story of his grandfather Antonio, the legendary bandido El Tragabalas, The Bullet Swallower.A family saga that s epic in scope and magical in its blood, and based loosely on the author s own great-grandfather, The Bullet Swallower tackles border politics, intergenerational trauma, and the legacies of racism and colonialism in a lush setting and stunning prose that asks who pays for the sins of our ancestors, and whether it is possible to be better than our forebears.

Do Plants Know Math? - Christophe Gole, Stephane Douady, Nancy Pick, Jacques Dumais

A breathtakingly illustrated look at botanical spirals and the scientists who puzzled over themCharles Darwin was driven to distraction by plant spirals, growing so exasperated that he once begged a friend to explain the mystery “if you wish to save me from a miserable death.” The legendary naturalist was hardly alone in feeling tormented by these patterns. Plant spirals captured the gaze of Leonardo da Vinci and became Alan Turing’s final obsession. This book tells the stories of the physicists, mathematicians, and biologists who found themselves magnetically drawn to Fibonacci spirals in plants, seeking an answer to why these beautiful and seductive patterns occur in botanical forms as diverse as pine cones, cabbages, and sunflowers.Do Plants Know Math? takes you down through the centuries to explore how great minds have been captivated and mystified by Fibonacci patterns in nature. It presents a powerful new geometrical solution, little known outside of scientific circles, that sheds light on why regular and irregular spiral patterns occur. Along the way, the book discusses related plant geometries such as fractals and the fascinating way that leaves are folded inside of buds.Your neurons will crackle as you begin to see the connections. This book will inspire you to look at botanical patterns—and the natural world itself—with new eyes. Featuring hundreds of gorgeous color images, Do Plants Know Math? includes a dozen creative hands-on activities and even spiral-plant recipes, encouraging readers to explore and celebrate these beguiling patterns for themselves.
