Discarding Long-Held Beliefs in School Mathematics to Help Students Believe They Are Math People

Speakers
Description
No child had entered school hating mathematics and thinking they'd leave school, identifying as "I'm not a math person." We need to continue the vital work of exposing these long-held beliefs, such as "Math is always right or wrong," "You need to know x before learning y," and "Math is only for some people," and shifting toward math instruction that empowers students to find joy and purpose in doing and talking about mathematics.
