by Nicole M. Wessman-Enzinger (Author), Natasha Gerstenschlager (Author)

In this practical guide, authors Wessman-Enzinger and Gerstenschlager provide a foundation for celebrating mathematical mistakes and offer several strategies and task structures that encourage creative and flexible mathematical reasoning. Part of the Growing the Mathematician in Every Student collection, this book moves beyond the correct-incorrect paradigm by acknowledging the beauty, power, and ubiquity of mistakes, supporting more meaningful student learning.


This book will help educators:
  • Learn three types of mistakes and their roles in mathematical reasoning
  • Understand how mathematical errors encourage creativity
  • Support students' invented notation and language as demonstrations of their learning
  • Apply strategies and task structures with real-life vignettes
  • Reflect on chapter content with prompts
