Happy Teacher Appreciation Week!

As an educator myself, I can say confidently that we are working harder than ever before. This new world of online-emergency-remote-learning – or whatever else you want to call it – is not normal to any of us. Then, add the possible additional pressures of home-life chaos, children of your own you must teach at home, financial struggles, and mental health decline due to isolation and you have a stressful scenario most of us have never dealt with before. …

Using Everyone Can Learn Math to Talk about Math

Everyone Can Learn Math is a children’s picture book about applying a growth mindset to learning math. Amy is a girl who thinks she is “not a math person,” but she learns through advice from her friends and teachers that she needs to work hard and struggle through math problems to get better at math. And that is O K A Y and N O R M A L. ..

Once upon a time I failed math twice because, like many of us, I was made to believe that I simply wasn't a "math person." Sound familiar? In a truly accessible way, Alice taps into the hearts and minds of those who don't yet believe in their mathematical superpowers, who habitually fall victim to society's deeply ingrained beliefs that math belongs to the chosen few, and who simply need some inspiring words and images to encourage them to believe that they were destined for mathematical superstardom. You can't be what you can't see - thank you Alice for creating a book that so, so many kids out there will finally be able to find themselves in.

The beauty of mathematics is relevant in every aspect of Alice’s book showing that, with the correct mindset, anyone can do math, learn to play basketball and even climb monkey bars. Not only does Alice teach her students about growth mindset, she believes in it so deeply that she models it with her own children. This is a must read for any family with young children at home.

My youngest son and I read your book. He’s had a tough time in school and I’ve been homeschooling him now for just over a year. As he was reading your book he was surprised how accurately you understood his math struggle. For the longest time he felt like the only kid who didn’t get math, but your book has helped! Thanks so much for writing it.

This book, inspired by Jo Boaler’s work on creating a growth mindset, sends an imperative message to young children: math is a language everyone can learn. Young Amy, the math-frustrated protagonist, soon realizes she does possess the skills to succeed in math, and they are determination and perseverance. The skills to do math are not some elusive math gene that she simply wasn’t born with; they are skills that she has already developed in other areas of her life. After seeing friends achieve goals with hard work and recognizing her own hard work in completing an arabesque, Amy realizes her “brain is a muscle, you know,” and she just needs to “make it grow.” With a fresh perspective, Amy succeeds.
Everyone Can Learn Math is an accessible book with an important message for young and old alike. Bring this book into your homes and read it to your young children. Let this essential children’s book, sweetly illustrated in gentle watercolour by Alexandria Masse, show the beauty and joy in recognizing the value of a positive attitude toward math.

Two thumbs up from my class! We are all about that growth mindset and combating math anxiety. Thank you for making a book that we related to! (Basketball, monkey bars, ballet, word problems) We also loved that the characters looked like us because diversity matters.
