A growth mindset is one where students understand that productive struggle and even mistakes are opportunities for learning and growing their minds

2022-11-01 22:34:38 UTC

Helping children shift from the fixed mindset—one that says some people were born to be great mathematicians while others are doomed to struggle—is critical to supporting the next generation of math students.

Young mathematicians need to see that the keys to success are passion and dedication, not speed and always being right

I am not a "math person." I thought this myself for several years until I discovered I found out I was better at math than I realized.

Helping children shift from the fixed mindset—one that says some people were born to be great mathematicians while others are doomed to struggle—is critical to supporting the next generation of math students.

2022-11-05 23:30:31 UTC

As young math students begin to answer the questions "Who am I?", it's CRITICAL for teachers to help them write a narrative that includes a strong belief that they were born to do math.

We need to show students the beauty of math and not only the numbers.

Whether they say it or not, students do wonder what it takes to be a great mathematician.

They need to know it’s not about speed and always being right—it’s about curiosity, passion,

and dedication.

2022-11-08 21:00:44 UTC

Students need opportunities to see the role math plays in their lives and in the world. There

are mathematical patterns in nature, baking, music, art, dance, and more.

2022-11-08 21:01:58 UTC

To start those conversations, when students solve problems have them share their thinking

and varied strategies

Student Self Concept is the collection of attitudes and abilities that THEY BELIEVE define them.
