Redefining Math Potential

The notion that some people are inherently 'math kids' while others are not creates unnecessary limitations on children's potential. Labeling students this way can deter them from engaging with math, much like labeling a child as a non-reader would harm their literacy development. The emphasis should shift from determining who can learn math to exploring how to teach it effectively. By fostering a belief in every child's capability, educators can ignite a passion for math and encourage students to invest effort in their learning.
