Math-ish Workshop for K-16 Teachers

Jo Boaler’s latest book, Math-ish, is a joyful celebration of conceptual mathematics and all that it can do for you and your students. This workshop will feature never-before-shared ideas that will help you truly develop a growth mindset, see mathematics in a different way, and learn the value of “ish-ing” across the curriculum. We will explore building a mathematical mindset culture, building positive student identities and equitable group work, the research behind “ish-ing” and different ways of implementing the practice. We will also discuss number flexibility, including new research and new approaches, and strategies to support student development of visual and mental models in mathematics. Every attendee will receive a signed copy of Math-ish!

Teaching the Youcubed Summer Camp

This workshop is offered twice each year, once in person and once online. It focuses on our curriculum and teaching approach that improved students’ scores on standardized mathematics tests by an average of 50% (equivalent to 2.8 years of school). A study of teachers implementing the program across the US showed a significant increase in student mathematics achievement after camp and in the following school year. The training is appropriate for anyone interested in running a youcubed-inspired summer camp or using a this teaching approach during the school year, and includes our camp curriculum for grades K-1, 2-3, 4-5, and 6-9.

Level 2 Workshops

A new program designed to extend your learning of mindset mathematics teaching approaches called Level 2 youcubed training. 

This 2-day session with Dr Jo Boaler and Cathy Williams will go beyond the evidence of the need for conceptual, mindset-infused mathematics to share how this change has been achieved in different examples, and ways to teach or support people teaching conceptually. Content will include detail on teaching moves, teacher questions, tasks, classroom culture and messaging. This workshop is intended for people who are aware of much of our work and messages and would like to go to a deeper level of learning.

"This workshop allows for some great networking opportunities. It gives us amazing data and resources to take back to our district. This also gave me a better understanding of what growth mindset is."
"This workshop has truly been life changing. I feel like my struggle is finally being relieved! Math can be fun, exciting and creative! Thank you!"
"This workshop has been the single best professional development because it freed me from the confines of traditional math instruction."
"This workshop made me truly understand how math can be brought to students as a creative, free subject for all students to experience."
"This workshop reminded me why I love education so much, the ability to inspire young minds to see their own potential. I wish more of my colleagues would come to one of these!"
"This workshop will affirm those hidden beliefs you previously only held in your heart regarding students and learning… it will allow you to put them into action!"
"This workshop has given me more tools as a math leader than I have ever had before!"
