“Mistakes are a way of learning.  Don't give up when you make a mistake. Persevere.  Try another strategy, think outside the box, talk it over with someone.... Struggling helps brains to grow and you to become smarter.  It is a good thing to struggle and that is what the new curriculum will help you do.  You don't need to be fast at math.  You need to think deeply about it.  This is also true when responding.  Think about your answer. Does it make sense?” Jo Boaler, Stanford University
