I chose to use "Mathematical Mindsets" as my book study after a colleague recommended it as a meaningful and practical read for math teachers. Over the years, I have consistently heard students say, “I hate math,” and I wanted to better understand where that mindset comes from and how to address it in my classroom. My goal in selecting this book was to find strategies that help shift students’ thinking, build confidence, and create a more positive and productive learning environment. I am particularly interested in learning ways to challenge fixed mindsets and replace them with a growth-oriented approach so students can see themselves as capable of success in mathematics.
