Growth mindset helps dispel myths about maths
Staff at Heriot Primary School in Renfrewshire used growth mindset to help pupils understand that everyone can be good at maths.
Lucy Scollen and six members of her team at Heriot Primary School were struggling to help pupils understand that maths can be engaging and enjoyable, even if their parents had had a less positive experience in their school days.
By helping pupils embrace the idea of focusing on their own development, sharing their mistakes and learning from them, they are becoming more engaged in maths.
Pupils are also using different strategies and being creative to help them take on more difficult challenges without fear of failure.
Staff and pupils share their experiences in this 6-minute video.
