This book offers an excellent look at why math is so important, and the foolish ways it taught in classes here. Parents should read this book.

“What’s Math Got To Do With It?” is a great summer read for every educator to read for inspiration around math reform in our schools. I was inspired by the practical ideas that I can take back into my classroom this year.

This was a compelling read that gave insight to a different perspective on how I view mathematics. With two kids in school, I thoroughly enjoyed the tricks and different techniques we can use to assist them in their learning.

Doing math in my head becomes nearly impossible during times of stress, a lifelong affliction that had me getting either excellent or barely passing grades through middle school, then when I returned to complete a masters degree as an adult. This book laid out some of the mechanics behind these mathematical dissociations and provided some knowledge to help me become less avoidant of “math situations.”

If you do not enjoy math this one is a good read.

This book was very good. It gave me some ideas about incorporating math into our after-school program and several examples of math problems. My only complaint is that it didn’t take into account students with different learning abilities and/or neurodivergent kids. I know this book is a bit older but an update with some new work in these areas would be nice.

After reading this, I contacted my daughter’s principal to discuss it. We had a good discussion about what is already happening and what can still be done. So glad I read it.
