The author outlines a blueprint to banish math anxiety and to lay a foundation for mathematics success that anyone can achieve. The “mindset” framework can turn self-doubt into self-confidence. The framework builds upon the idea that math is conceptual and the main focus should be upon the connections among the big ideas that inform the learning of content, both within and across grade levels.
