The Elephant in the Classroom by Jo Boaler
Why do millions struggle with mathematics and what can teachers do to change that? Jo Boaler has followed the progress of thousands of pupils, monitoring how they learn maths through their school carers and then following them into adult life. This remarkable research is the foundation of her investigations into the impact that differing maths experiences can have on an entire generation. Jo Boaler outlines what has gone wrong, identifying the problems facing children in mathematics classrooms today and offers concrete solutions for parents and teachers that will revolutionise children's experiences with maths.
Jo Boaler is Professor of Mathematics Education at Stanford University and was recently chosen by the BBC as one of the eight people 'whose ideas are challenging the future of education'. She has previously taught at King's College, London, the University of Sussex and London comprehensive schools. She is the co-founder of Youcubed.org, which provides mathematics education resources to parents and teachers.
