Online maths course!

Hi everyone! The past couple of week we did the Stanford university online maths course. The course had 5 lessons about maths mindsets.

The first lesson was mostly about having a positive mindset about maths and answering the myths about maths. There were two main mindsets, people with growth mindsets and fixed mindset. People with a fixed mindset are people who think they're bad at maths and don't really care about maths. People with Growth mindsets always strives for the better and kept going even though they failed multiple times. This lesson talked about the difference of people with a fixed mindset and growth mindset. The people with the growth mindset did better in maths than people with a fixed mindset.

The second lesson was again about having positive mindsets about maths like trying even though you've failed already. This lesson also talks about your brain and how the more you learn the more your brain grows and develops.

The third lesson

This lesson talks about Why having mistakes are good and why being fast at maths doesn't matter. Some people think that being fast at maths makes you good but some of the best mathematicians think slow and understand the problem before getting a final answer. This lesson also talks about having mistakes. Making mistakes on maths and other subjects is good for you, it helps your brain grow and develop.

The fourth lesson

This lesson was about making connections in maths. Like making connection if your personal life

The fifth lesson

The fifth lesson was about all of the patterns in maths and how to focus on seeing these patterns and how it connects to the equations.
