How to Learn Math: For Students

Stanford University offers this unique online course designed to help students of all ages and levels (and their instructors) develop "strategies to learn and to relate to math well." Taught by Dr. Jo Boaler, a professor of mathematics education at Stanford, this course is intended to help students who have had negative experiences with math classes gain both the confidence and the metacognitive skills to approach mathematics. The self-paced course, which includes six twenty minute lessons, includes information about brain science as well as strategies for approaching mathematical reasoning. To enroll in this course, students (or their parents) or instructors need to complete a free registration. This resource may especially appeal to high school and college mathematics instructors, mathematics tutors, adult education instructors, and students interested in reassessing their approach to math.

Thank you for this resource. Our weekly Veterans Breakfast group were just discussing mathematics education this morning.
