Setting Up A Safe Mathematical Learning Environment To Build Confidence, Take Risks & Show A Growth Mindset!

Kristy McBride —

In Room 16 we have been working on inspirational Jo Boaler activities. As a class we created an environment to suit all learning styles. This is what we came up with: 

  • Everyone can learn math to the highest levels
  • Mistakes are valuable
  • Questions are really important
  • Math is about creativity and making sense
  • Math is about connections and communicating
  • Math class is about learning not performing
  • Depth is more important than speed
