This book will teach you how to support students to develop positive beliefs about their ability to learn math and how to create a desire to learn by fostering their curiosity and interests.

Interviews of high achieving adults who attended Ivy League schools or pursued master’s and doctoral degrees in STEM including parents of such successful adults revealed that beliefs about one’s ability drives motivation and perseverance to learn math. Beliefs about one’s ability to learn math is not static it is a process of becoming as the individual interacts in the school, home, and social environment. Parents and teachers will gain insights on how to create conditions to support a child to be successful in math and persevere..

Teruni Lamberg is a Professor of Mathematics Education at the University of Nevada, Reno. She has conducted research on children’s mathematical thinking for over 20 years and authored many books on helping children learn math.
