Jo Boaler

And it makes me think and wonder, and, and I again, I'm not a, a reading expert, nor am I a math teaching expert, but I think about the idea of memorizing math kinds of things, and that's, you know, just like constantly argued about.

Uh, I'll be talking with Jo Boaler in, um, you know, a few weeks I think, and, you know, she's been being, you know, everybody says, "Hey, she doesn't want kids to memorize things." And I don't think that's true, but I think she wants them to memorize them in a different way, and it reminds me, I don't know if this is analogous, and, and I don't, I, I'm, I'm, I don't know.

I don't, uh, I'm not against kids memorizing sort of multiplication tables and math, but it seems like if you can, if you can put it together in sort of a web and a map like you're talking about with words, that that makes more sense because it is more interconnected.

Um, and there's not a question there, I'm just sort of, um-

A lot of failures when people are learning math are not becau- are not due to people being incapable of learning math, it's just that there's a dozen different ways of learning math.

There's a extremely beautiful book by professor of education at Stanford called Jo Boaler.

Mm-hmm.

Her book is called The Mind Unlimited, or something like that.
