Math Identity and Growth Mindset in Middle School

Math Identity and Growth Mindset in Middle School

How students see themselves as mathematicians directly impacts their engagement and achievements in their math classrooms.

What You'll Explore in This Session:

In this edWebinar, we explore:

  • The concept of math identity—what it is, why it is important, and how to promote a positive math identity for middle school students

  • How students view mathematical contexts, and how those perceptions influence participation and engagement

  • Actionable strategies for fostering a growth mindset, empowering students to take risks, embrace productive struggle, and build confidence in mathematics

Educators are able to take action and apply their learning to their classrooms to strengthen students’ math identities and create more inclusive, motivating math classrooms. This recorded edWebinar is of interest to middle school teachers, school leaders, and district leaders.
