The Mathematical Resilience Book
How Everyone Can Progress in Mathematics
About this book
This book is about mathematical resilience: what it is, why it is important, how learners can develop it and how teachers can teach in ways that help learners become mathematically resilient. Teaching for mathematical resilience helps mitigate mathematics anxiety, which is often hidden from view as poor behaviour, avoidance and underachievement and can have long-term implications especially for people's employment opportunities and career progression.
Written by a team of expert contributors that specialise in teaching every age of learner from primary school through to adult, the book shows that everyone can progress in mathematics if they have Mathematical Resilience and sets out practical strategies to support learners in developing this important attribute. Chapters cover:
- How to measure mathematics anxiety and resilience
- Tools for building mathematical resilience
- Building a resilient mathematical learning environment
- The power of coaching
- Working with groups, individuals and support staff
- Supporting parents and carers
The world faces huge challenges that involve mathematical thinking, including climate change and economic injustice. This valuable text shows teachers how they can help learners to engage positively with mathematical learning and reach their full potential.
