CHAPTER

I've heard a lot of that with my students in regards to algebra. Many of my students will look at algebra and say, I am not good at math. And it sounds like that's a fixed mindset, whereas somebody who has a growth mindset might say, I'm not really so good at algebra now, but I'm going to keep practicing. That's an example. So thinking about this growth mindset versus fixed mindset, now you've experienced this personally at multiple times of your life. Hopefully you can take us back to sixth grade.
