"FAIL" is the First Attempt in Learning. If students do not have the opportunity to fail, they cannot learn perseverance. They will struggle on how to embrace and incorporate a growth mindset. They will feel defeated and not want to try anymore. I don't want my students to feel this way. I appreciate and love how kids are so curious. I hope kids never lose their sense of wonder. I truly believe that as students embark on their math journey that they need the correct supplies to help them get started on a positive path. I have selected materials such as dry erase boards, markers, and erasers that will allow my students to have easy access to solve math problems, brainstorm ideas, and work with classmates to easily check their work. I am excited that the marker boards and supplies will be assigned to them so they may take them home to help them with their math. This will also help them if we have to go into virtual learning. The chairs that I have selected will allow them to sit on the floor to work independently or in pairs as they collaborate together on their math project. I love what I do and I am so excited to help them gain the confidence to fail and learn from their mistakes. This is one way they can continue to wonder about math and all the possibilities it can offer.
