Most of us experience math in a very limited way, focusing on calculations and worksheets with one eye on high-stakes exams. Because of this “experience gap,” students have a poor math identity that negatively impacts learning.
Created by MIND Research Institute, MathMINDs changes how society views math by changing the way we experience it. What if math took a page from the playbooks for food, sports, music, or literacy - offering diverse opportunities that challenge and delight all ages?
As adults, our attitudes and mindsets around math have a profound influence on our students' learning.
MathMINDs reaches beyond the classroom to a student's larger ecosystem by changing how we collectively experience math.
As this ecosystem begins to think, feel, and talk about math differently we boost students' learning and mathematical identities.
Math is from everywhere, in everything, and for everyone.
