These note-taking handouts were created for my webinar, Math Problem Solving: Mindsets Matter. During that session, I shared engaging strategies to help students overcome math anxiety and develop a growth mindset toward problem solving. I examined the research related to 6 commonly-held beliefs about math, and the implications of that research for the mathematics classroom. Participants learned specific cooperative learning strategies to boost math achievement in ALL students, including IPC Problem Solving and Share-Share-Compare.
