What if everyone of your students actually loved math?
Now, you can make the impossible a reality, and your students will race to complete your math problems.
Math teachers want more for their students than routine lessons and weekly test scores. You want them to engage in a productive struggle, without quitting in frustration. You want them to think like mathematicians. You want them to desire to learn more.
In Hacking Mathematics, teacher, author, and math consultant Denis Sheeran shows you how to hack your instructional approach and assessment procedures, in order to promote an amazing culture of mathematical inquiry and engagement that very few students ever see.
What you can do tomorrow
• Increase relevant connections between your students and the content
• Use homework effectively, removing the frustration and anxiety around it
• Connect with the global community of math educators
• Question everything, provide meaningful feedback, and teach your students to do the same
Hacking Mathematics puts you in control of the change that is happening around problem solving in math class. Read it now and embrace the change.
Written with the acute and authoritative framework of a ‘white paper’, but with the signature humor and empathy of Sheeran, Hacking Mathematics is easily one of the most accessible and desirable reads that I have come across in the crowded field of math education books! -- Sunil Singh, Author of Pi of Life: The Hidden Happiness of Mathematics
It’s time to take an honest look at traditional math teaching, get real about that which doesn’t work, and innovate around ways to ‘hack’ our instruction in order to engage students in creative problem solving and innovation that will improve learning and improve lives.” --Amy Fast High school assistant principal and author of It’s the Mission, Not the Mandates
