Jo Boaler gives both research-backed insights and practical classroom strategies that challenge the fixed mindset so many students carry. This book helped me move beyond drill-and-kill instruction and toward open, creative tasks that build confidence and deep understanding. My students are more willing to take risks and actually enjoy math now! Whether you're a new teacher or a veteran, this is essential reading. It should be part of every school’s professional development library. Review: A Must-Read! - A must-read for parents, teachers, and anyone involved in schools and education policy, especially as it relates to math! It's impressive how well the book addresses all these different audiences. There's not a lot of education jargon, and Boaler has plenty of relevant anecdotes to illustrate her ideas, making the book completely accessible to non-educators. There is is a good overview of the recent math education and mindset literature, without going too far into the arcane world of education research. At the same time, everything is well cited, so anyone who wants to delve into the details can flip to the references and find what they need. As a math teacher, I can say that this book really fills a void. In one readable and well-integrated volume, Boaler takes on such diverse topics as how people learn math; the importance of mindset and how it relates to math; how best to serve students at many different levels of math achievement; what math has to do with educational equity, and more. Parents of students who are struggling in math will welcome learning about the research on math phobia and will find that Boaler provides much practical advice on how to change course. Parents of high-achieving math students need to read this book since it provides an important counterpoint to the default of channeling "gifted" students into accelerated math tracks, often without ever giving them a chance to explore math beyond an algorithmic level. You'll have a much better idea of what you might want to advocate for in order to serve your child well through their educational career. Anyone interested in advancing educational equity will find that Boaler has much to say about how the teaching of math has historically contributed to inequity, and how it needs to be part of the way forward. Teachers and administrators interested in de-tracking their math programs will want to read this book because it not only provides important rationales for creating heterogeneous classrooms but also explains the comprehensive changes in pedagogy that are necessary for all students to be empowered and challenged. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #62,027 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #20 in Mathematics Study & Teaching (Books) #28 in Mathematics (Books) #42 in Math Teaching Materials | | Customer Reviews | 4.7 4.7 out of 5 stars (1,805) | | Dimensions | 7.5 x 0.75 x 9.5 inches | | Edition | 1st | | ISBN-10 | 0470894520 | | ISBN-13 | 978-0470894521 | | Item Weight | 1.36 pounds | | Language | English | | Print length | 292 pages | | Publication date | November 2, 2015 | | Publisher | Jossey-Bass Inc Pub | ## Images ![Mathematical Mindsets: Unleashing Students' Potential Through Creative Math, Inspiring Messages and Innovative Teaching - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/814bNKPyPsL.jpg) ![Mathematical Mindsets: Unleashing Students' Potential Through Creative Math, Inspiring Messages and Innovative Teaching - Image 2](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81I4dFPYn-L.jpg) ![Mathematical Mindsets: Unleashing Students' Potential Through Creative Math, Inspiring Messages and Innovative Teaching - Image 3](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71ZHcIyHj3L.jpg) ![Mathematical Mindsets: Unleashing Students' Potential Through Creative Math, Inspiring Messages and Innovative Teaching - Image 4](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71bUJ+aC5YL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Every Math Teacher Needs This Book! *by C***R on June 2, 2025* Mathematical Mindsets completely transformed how I teach math.

I was thoroughly impressed with the book. I study computer science but also many other fields of mathematics, and plan on going into teaching at a university. The contents of this book are geared more towards children but I believe the concepts apply almost everywhere. These are the kinds of ideas that are needed to change education in the U.S. around. From personal experience I can say that universities are stuck in a similar rut where people get left behind because they aren't quick enough or not great at taking tests in an hour time. I have had a class similar to ones described in the book as the "model" class and I can say that I learned significantly more and was much more involved in the class. It also seemed that some of my fellow students were too, as they started the class out thinking it would just be boring, but since we were involved almost every class period, they often enjoyed the class and pushed for learning more. Thus i can only say that this book should be read by anyone who is passionate about education or just wants to teach a class at work. It will show new ideas that are vital to learning instead of number crunching. I feel that it (aside from a few grammatical errors) was well written and the citing of sources was nice to see, with a large bibliography to back the claims up. Overall it is a good read, and a relatively quick one. ## Frequently Bought Together - Mathematical Mindsets: Unleashing Students' Potential Through Creative Math, Inspiring Messages and Innovative Teaching - Principles to Actions: Ensuring Mathematical Success for All - Building Thinking Classrooms in Mathematics, Grades K-12: 14 Teaching Practices for Enhancing Learning (Corwin Mathematics Series) --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.pt/products/19883465-mathematical-mindsets-unleashing-students-potential-through-creative-math-inspiring-messages](https://www.desertcart.pt/products/19883465-mathematical-mindsets-unleashing-students-potential-through-creative-math-inspiring-messages) --- *Product available on Desertcart Portugal* *Store origin: PT* *Last updated: 2026-04-23*
