What beliefs and expectations do you want our students to have when learning mathematics? en-us 2019-02-10 23:44:51 UTC 2019-02-12 02:15:56 UTC hello@padlet.com https://padlet.com/switting1/oy216gbsf5l2/wish/330167484 I want them to know that math can be fun!
A positive attitude towards math!
I want them to be problem solvers!]]> 2019-02-12 02:16:19 UTC https://padlet.com/switting1/oy216gbsf5l2/wish/330167484 https://padlet.com/switting1/oy216gbsf5l2/wish/330167488 You CAN do it! Your brain is a 'muscle'; you need to exercise it to make it stronger! It's ok to make mistakes, sometimes it's the best way we learn. ]]> 2019-02-12 02:16:20 UTC https://padlet.com/switting1/oy216gbsf5l2/wish/330167488 wbaker8 https://padlet.com/switting1/oy216gbsf5l2/wish/330167509 I want students to know that they are all mathematicians in my class, so no (I am not good at math), I want them be willing to be open to others possible ideas to expand their understanding.]]> 2019-02-12 02:16:27 UTC https://padlet.com/switting1/oy216gbsf5l2/wish/330167509 https://padlet.com/switting1/oy216gbsf5l2/wish/330167551 I  want my students to just think of math as thinking logically. This makes it more accessible and less intimidating. I want them to move away from thinking of math as this big complex field and think of it as just a way of thinking logically.  ]]> 2019-02-12 02:16:47 UTC https://padlet.com/switting1/oy216gbsf5l2/wish/330167551 cmerchant3 https://padlet.com/switting1/oy216gbsf5l2/wish/330168122 I agree with Tara -> thinking about math as logical thinking, problem solving, a puzzle to be discovered. I want my students to think of math as something that they are are capable of doing! I also want them to understand that math skills are built, and that they will always get better, and that its okay to make mistakes, and keep trying! ]]> 2019-02-12 02:19:16 UTC https://padlet.com/switting1/oy216gbsf5l2/wish/330168122 dameyenberg https://padlet.com/switting1/oy216gbsf5l2/wish/330169227 A growth mindset encourages all learners by welcoming risk-taking, building confidence, allowing for experimentation, and encouraging practice and errors. When you practice a skill, you get better. Everyone has the ability to get there if they put in the effort. (Ross says Growth Mindset is “Lose Yourself” by Eminem.)]]> 2019-02-12 02:25:32 UTC https://padlet.com/switting1/oy216gbsf5l2/wish/330169227 https://padlet.com/switting1/oy216gbsf5l2/wish/330169235 I want my students to know that math does not start and stop in math class. Math is an important part of many other fun and fulfilling areas of our lives (e.g., when cooking, playing sports, traveling, etc). Therefore learning about math is a way to learn more about our world and the activities that make us happy. ]]> 2019-02-12 02:25:35 UTC https://padlet.com/switting1/oy216gbsf5l2/wish/330169235 https://padlet.com/switting1/oy216gbsf5l2/wish/330169298 We want our children to have a positive mindset, a growth mindset, where they can develop number sense. We would also want them to be able to think critically when doing math, and being able to explain their answers and mathematical understanding. ]]> 2019-02-12 02:25:55 UTC https://padlet.com/switting1/oy216gbsf5l2/wish/330169298 https://padlet.com/switting1/oy216gbsf5l2/wish/330169447 I want students to believe in themselves, to be confident in their ability to grow in (math) a subject that is viewed as difficult for so many that it is easy to view it negatively. I want students to expect to get as much out of math as they put in, practice does not make perfect but it does help us improve. I also want them to know that it is okay to ask for help or a clearer explanation because we all learn differently. ]]> 2019-02-12 02:26:32 UTC https://padlet.com/switting1/oy216gbsf5l2/wish/330169447 rcabalza https://padlet.com/switting1/oy216gbsf5l2/wish/330169850 I hope that they see math as a part of life and their everyday thinking, not just a subject in school or homework to do.  I hope they enjoy learning about it.
