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.”
Discussion

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
