Many of us buy into the idea that some people are innately good at math and others just wont ever succeed at it-but its not true, and numeracy is as important as literacy when it comes to opening doors in life.Sharma shows how complex problem solving and puzzle solving, abstract and logical thinking, developing fluency with numbers, and cultivating persistence in math are crucial skills for success that can be taught to everyone and how math, far from being a dry, dull exercise, shares common ground with art and creativity. She also debunks the myths that prevent us from learning and enjoying math, with chapters dedicated to the three roadblocks that discourage adults and kids from learning.With instructive line drawings throughout, Sharma explains the math instinct that all humans have from birth, and better, more intuitive ways to solve math problems that are both rigorous and accessible. For anyone who has ever thought youre "bad at math" but wants to get good-for your children and for yourself-Math Mind contains the guidance, takeaways, and specific approaches you need to learn to love numbers.
