This book is an excellent resource for parents and teachers who want to gain greater insight into students’ motivations to learn and do math. Dr. Lamberg offers actionable steps that can be taken to support mathematics learners. She draws upon research-based theories and practical life experiences of mathematics learners to provide readers with vivid images of learners’ lives. I am hopeful that more students will develop better relationships with mathematics if their parents and teachers read this book!
