      Synopsis

      A recent assessment of mathematics performance around the world ranked the United States twenty-eighth out of forty countries in the study. When the level of spending was taken into account, we sank to the very bottom of the list. We are falling rapidly behind the rest of the developed world when it comes to math education-and the consequences are dire.

      In this straightforward and inspiring book, Jo Boaler, a professor of mathematics education at Stanford for nine years, outlines concrete solutions that can change things for the better, including classroom approaches, essential strategies for students, and advice for parents. This is a must-read for anyone who is interested in the mathematical and scientific future of our country.

      November 22, 2009: Every Teacher and educator in Public and private school starting in elementary school must read this book. This book explains why we are so behind in America when it comes to Math. We need help as a nation when it comes to teaching Math to our children and we need it now. Excellent book.
