Mindset: Growth

1. Which mindset do you think you are a part of when it comes to "intelligence"?
I believe that I am more of a growth mindset when it comes to intelligence because i tend to look for the challenges and rather than quitting I fight through the end to become stronger in that sense.

According to the reading, what tells you that you are of this mindset?
2. How has this mindset helped or hurt you in math?
3. What is your reaction to finding out that the brain is just a big muscle that can be trained?

2) This has helped me in math because although it is not my strongest subject I have gone on through it and tried out those new challenges. At first it may seem hard but I don't give up that easy and so practice until i get it right. Instead of giving up i keep my feet on the ground and tell myself it will all pay out in the end.

3) I was surprised that their was another being who thought the same as me. I thought it was as every other muscle in the human body which can grow and become "stronger" The statement was taken for granted by others but im glad there are others who see it as a muscle that can be trained. [:

4. How do you see this new piece of information affecting your future?
4)It just gave me much more hope in succeeding in math one way or another! Like it says, it has inspired me!
