Some may lack foundational prerequisite mathematics that they need and this makes them unready, but through the right experiences, high expectations from others, and a growth mindset, these prerequisite skills can be obtained.]]> 2018-02-08 17:59:33 UTC https://padlet.com/mehall1/hpmsmathematicalmindsets/wish/229723078 mehall1 https://padlet.com/mehall1/hpmsmathematicalmindsets/wish/229724507 I think it is all about mindset. I have had students who have never really been challenged in mathematics before come into my class and have to really deeply think and work hard in mathematics for the first time. On the other side, I have had students who have always been told, sometimes by their parents, that they are not good at math, and so they have not heard that yes, they can do this math. ]]> 2018-02-08 18:02:05 UTC https://padlet.com/mehall1/hpmsmathematicalmindsets/wish/229724507 mehall1 https://padlet.com/mehall1/hpmsmathematicalmindsets/wish/229728630 I think we need to educate parents about the importance of what they say to their children, and how these mindsets they may have can have a huge impact on their students. Emphasize that we are on the same team and that we truly believe that any and all of our students can be successful in math through hard work, and expect their support in this.]]> 2018-02-08 18:03:55 UTC https://padlet.com/mehall1/hpmsmathematicalmindsets/wish/229728630 jwagner32 https://padlet.com/mehall1/hpmsmathematicalmindsets/wish/229857376 My goal is to have students think about math more positively and believe that they can be successful in math and that there is no such thing as math brained or not. I want to gain new strategies for teaching students.]]> 2018-02-08 23:29:11 UTC https://padlet.com/mehall1/hpmsmathematicalmindsets/wish/229857376 jwagner32 https://padlet.com/mehall1/hpmsmathematicalmindsets/wish/229860541 Many people believe that students struggle in math because their brains have not matured to the point where they can adequately think about math concepts. The actual problem that students have is the mindset and the lack of foundational skills.]]> 2018-02-08 23:55:04 UTC https://padlet.com/mehall1/hpmsmathematicalmindsets/wish/229860541 jwagner32 https://padlet.com/mehall1/hpmsmathematicalmindsets/wish/229861301 I believe that my students are lacking some fundamental math skills, as well as their growth mindset. Some students believe that they are bad at math and will never be good at math. I also have students who have been told that they are smart and do not want to try harder things because they do not want to be wrong.]]> 2018-02-09 00:01:46 UTC https://padlet.com/mehall1/hpmsmathematicalmindsets/wish/229861301 jwagner32 https://padlet.com/mehall1/hpmsmathematicalmindsets/wish/229861532 I think that it is important to express to the parents your philosophy for education and the importance of working as a team. By expressing your philosophy on learning and a growth mindset, you can educate the parents on the importance of attitude and verbiage that can be harmful to their child's learning.]]> 2018-02-09 00:03:37 UTC https://padlet.com/mehall1/hpmsmathematicalmindsets/wish/229861532 nbaxter7 https://padlet.com/mehall1/hpmsmathematicalmindsets/wish/230013040 2018-02-09 13:55:54 UTC https://padlet.com/mehall1/hpmsmathematicalmindsets/wish/230013040 nbaxter7 https://padlet.com/mehall1/hpmsmathematicalmindsets/wish/230013587 2018-02-09 13:56:58 UTC https://padlet.com/mehall1/hpmsmathematicalmindsets/wish/230013587 clshirley https://padlet.com/mehall1/hpmsmathematicalmindsets/wish/230016965 I hope to gain some new strategies to help my students not only better understand their current grade level material and prior "gaps" they may have, but also to create a positive atmosphere around math.]]> 2018-02-09 14:04:25 UTC https://padlet.com/mehall1/hpmsmathematicalmindsets/wish/230016965 clshirley https://padlet.com/mehall1/hpmsmathematicalmindsets/wish/230023265 The students have the potential and are capable of completing the grade level material, if we can create the mindset in them, that they are capable of being successful.]]> 2018-02-09 14:18:06 UTC https://padlet.com/mehall1/hpmsmathematicalmindsets/wish/230023265 clshirley https://padlet.com/mehall1/hpmsmathematicalmindsets/wish/230025281 I believe a good portion of our students are lacking in the "good" struggle of learning the material. At some point, they will fail at mastering a skill set on the first attempt, if we have created the mindset in them, that they are capable, they know that they can "struggle" through some portions of the material to gain a better understanding and develop some "math sense."]]> 2018-02-09 14:21:53 UTC https://padlet.com/mehall1/hpmsmathematicalmindsets/wish/230025281 smccullough6 https://padlet.com/mehall1/hpmsmathematicalmindsets/wish/232481811 I hope to be able to help my students avoid the "I'm not good good at math" stigma. ]]> 2018-02-16 19:23:17 UTC https://padlet.com/mehall1/hpmsmathematicalmindsets/wish/232481811 smccullough6 https://padlet.com/mehall1/hpmsmathematicalmindsets/wish/232497240 Students are only limited by their mindsets and mathematical experiences. If this were a a valid argument, you would not have child prodigies because no matter how intelligent they are, they would not be able to do the work if not developmentally ready. ]]> 2018-02-16 20:01:56 UTC https://padlet.com/mehall1/hpmsmathematicalmindsets/wish/232497240 smccullough6 https://padlet.com/mehall1/hpmsmathematicalmindsets/wish/232498236 Mindset is a big deal especially by the time students get to 7th grade. They have had 6 years to decide that they are "not good at math". Or they have had 6 years to be too good at math and have never had to struggle or study.]]> 2018-02-16 20:04:24 UTC https://padlet.com/mehall1/hpmsmathematicalmindsets/wish/232498236 smccullough6 https://padlet.com/mehall1/hpmsmathematicalmindsets/wish/232498700 This is a tough one. I have parents who come in to Open House and say, "Math was just not my thing." One way around this for me is to make sure I redirect them and assure the parent that the students will be given all the help they need in class. ]]> 2018-02-16 20:05:37 UTC https://padlet.com/mehall1/hpmsmathematicalmindsets/wish/232498700 tknight8 https://padlet.com/mehall1/hpmsmathematicalmindsets/wish/234280817 2018-02-22 15:35:47 UTC https://padlet.com/mehall1/hpmsmathematicalmindsets/wish/234280817 tknight8 https://padlet.com/mehall1/hpmsmathematicalmindsets/wish/234283265 2018-02-22 15:38:57 UTC https://padlet.com/mehall1/hpmsmathematicalmindsets/wish/234283265 tknight8 https://padlet.com/mehall1/hpmsmathematicalmindsets/wish/234291247 2018-02-22 15:49:55 UTC https://padlet.com/mehall1/hpmsmathematicalmindsets/wish/234291247 tknight8 https://padlet.com/mehall1/hpmsmathematicalmindsets/wish/234296255 2018-02-22 15:56:20 UTC https://padlet.com/mehall1/hpmsmathematicalmindsets/wish/234296255
