Try A Week of Inspirational Math!

Looking for ways to promote growth mindset in math in your classroom? I highly recommend trying some or all of the activities from Jo Boaler's weeks of Inspirational Math!

This was started 3 years ago, and she has three weeks' worth of lessons/resources available on her youcubed site.  You can access them HERE.

The activities are identified by grade level and organized a week at a time.  (K-2 only has two weeks worth of activities although you may be able to modify some of the 3-5 activities from the first year.)

You might decide to start your class with these activities each day for a week as you develop your workshop expectations and social norms.  Maybe it will work better to just dedicate one day a week to the activities.  You decide what will work best for you and your students!

Let me know if you have questions or could use any support!
