DiscussionWhich of these behaviors would help someone learn math? (Choose as many as you like.)� Deciding you are just no good at math when you

encounter difficulties.� Getting a low test grade and being determined to do

better next time.� When something is hard, keep going and “think outside

the box.”� When something is hard, decide you are just not a

“math person.”

Messages about maths

Discussion

× Why do you think that when students were praised for being smart they then chose the easy problem?

Discussion

What are some ways that you can help develop improved math mindsets with yourself, your staff, your students and your parents?

“A lot of scientific evidence suggests that the difference

between those who succeed and those who don't is not the

brains they were born with, but their approach to life, the

messages they receive about their potential, and the

opportunities they have to learn.”

― Jo Boaler, Mathematical Mindsets
