Learn practical strategies for teaching mathematics to students who have given up on learning.
...when most have given up hope
This is more than 11 strategies-each on has it’s own content and that includes even more strategies and tips. I like the inclusion of information and tips on math anxiety and engaging unmotivated learners. The cognition used to solve math problems are explained. There are engaging quotes and jokes provided that lighten the subject and many students would appreciate these to lessen their own math anxiety. A review of math lingo might be useful to both students and parents who are helping their children with homework. There are tips that are useful to special needs students and their parents. I recommend this book not only for parents but to homeschooling teachers.

11 Effective Strategies for Teaching Math To Students who Have Given Up On Learning by Jordan B. Smith Jr is a guide that gives us numerous tools to motivate students to become interested in math.
We know that many students struggle with this subject. Math is not easy, especially if we don't like it. This book makes mathematics can look a little more appealing to those who reject it. It is also aimed at those people who have some major difficulty in understanding mathematics.
The best thing about this book is that author Jordan B. Smith covers everything about motivating students and even teachers to make teaching mathematics more comprehensive and less burdensome. But in addition, he gives us eleven effective, concise, and clear strategies for making mathematics teachable to students who have already given up.
It is well laid out, and includes useful graphics.

This book has been a great help to me as a math teacher, as I have multiple students who are several grades behind. I have cited Jordan B. Smith in many papers for my M.S. in Curriculum and Learning. I highly recommend this book for students who feel overwhelmed by math and have given up, thinking they are not smart enough. Not true! There is hope for every student who struggles. ~Topdaddy
