Math Mind - Shalinee Sharma - Bog

"Shalinee Sharma is one of the world's top experts on math learning, but when she was in school, she sat in the back row, unsure if she could ever master the subject. Many of us buy into the idea that some people are innately good at math and others just won't ever succeed at it-but it's not true. Sharma shows how complex problem solving and puzzle solving, abstract and logical thinking, and cultivating a growth mindset are crucial skills for success that can be taught to everyone, and how math, far from being a dry, dull exercise, shares common ground with art, creativity, and wonder. She also explodes the myths that hold us back from enjoying math, with chapters dedicated to the three roadblocks that hold both kids and adults back and discourage them from learning. With instructive line drawings throughout, Sharma explains the math instinct that all humans have from birth, and better, more intuitive ways to solve math problems. Whether you are an educator, a parent, or an adult who has always thought you're "bad at math" but wants to get good, Math Sense contains the guidance, takeaways, and specific approaches you need to learn to love numbers"--
