What is your mindset?

Assessment

This activity will assess the following learning objective:

Apply problem-solving strategies to a variety of mathematical problems

Forum Instructions

In a post below, respond to the following prompt.. Then, you must respond to [X] of your classmates' posts. After you post a response, you will be able to see other responses. You are not required to post more than once, but feel free to respond to other posts and engage with your classmates.

Your [first] post is due on [day of week] by [time] CST. Your response to another student is due on [day of week] by [time] CST. [Adjust for number of posts required.]

Your initial response should be at least four complete sentences long. A simple “I agree” or “Yes” or “LOL” will not count as your response to a classmate. Please think about the questions and your peers' responses and reply thoughtfully and courteously, according to netiquette rules. Use good English grammar, correct punctuation, and complete sentences. While the posts will mostly be judged by their thoughtfulness and completeness, I reserve the right to take off points for grammatical errors, especially if they interfere with the clarity of the post.

Prompt

Watch the following video on mindset and answer the prompts below.

In your own words, define a growth mindset. Reflect on your experiences and list one or two examples of when you have approached a topic in math with a growth mindset. How did that mindset affect your performance? How can having a growth mindset impact your ability to solve a variety of problems in this math class?

DETAILS FOR THE ADAPTING INSTRUCTOR - REMOVE BEFORE PUBLISHING TO STUDENTS:

A forum for discussion promotes peer-to-peer and student-instructor interaction. Questions should be thought provoking and encourage detailed analysis of module topics. Include a rubric.

If you do not want students to see other responses before they post, set type to "Q and A forum." For this type, you must create a post first for students to respond.

Subscription: Set to Auto.

Due dates: You cannot set due dates for forums, so be sure to tell students when to post above. These dates will not appear on the Moodle calendar.

Ratings: will place the forum in the gradebook. You can set a maximum grade. Restricting ratings to a date range only affects when you can grade, and not when the activity is available to students.

Activity completion: You can select completion criteria and an expected completed date.
