Youcubed from Jo Boaler, Stanford University

Dear youcubians,

We are very excited to share with you today a new, interactive Week of Inspirational Maths!  This year, we have some great new tasks and resources for you and we have also updated the WIM page of our website so that you can choose your own maths adventure!

We started WIM in 2015, releasing our first mindset videos and tasks for the beginning of school and it was such a hit that we have continued it every year. For the fifth anniversary of WIM, we wanted to do something big and bold that would empower teachers.  So, instead of being offered 5 tasks and videos for a week, you can choose any of the tasks or videos that we have on the site, creating your own week (or weeks!) of the most appropriate experience for your students. We think you and your students will have a better experience with this new format, and we will keep adding new tasks so you can revisit and choose tasks all year round.

Try the new WIM now!  You can create a 5-day playlist by exploring the resources on the page and selecting one item from each of the following categories to add to each day:
  • A video with a growth mindset and brain science messages
  • A resource for creating a positive classroom environment
  • An open, creative math task that’s suitable for the grade level you are teaching
Once you have created your playlist, you can save it, share it and even download all of the materials with a single click!  Please share your week with others by using the hashtag, #myWIM.  We love to see photos of teachers and students working on the tasks on social media.

Thank you for bringing the maths revolution to your students,
Jo & the youcubed team
We've added new and exciting tasks!
