Perseverance is a big part of being a successful person. You have to stick with it and keep trying if you want to be successful.
Brody has been working hard to understand how to put decimals on a number line. I am so proud of his effort. He made a video on Educreations that showed what he has learned.
You will notice that Brody takes his time; he counts the equal parts in the whole; and he uses half as a benchmark. Brody, great job persevering, hanging in there, and figuring it out!
Dear Brody,
ReplyDeleteGood job putting decimals on the number line, you will get way better at it once you get older.

Dear 4th Graders,
ReplyDeleteI have been talking to my high school students about perseverance, too. It is connected with an idea called Growth Mindset. Have you ever heard about this concept?

Dear Brody,
ReplyDeleteWay to go hanging in there and working through a tough problem. What helped you keep going even though this problem was difficult? Why didn't you just give up?

Dear Brody,
ReplyDeleteThis is an impressive example of perseverance! I know how hard it can be to stick with something when you don't understand it right away. Watching you stick with this math problem and talk through your ideas really inspired me to work hard when I'm doing my own math!
Thanks for the motivation,
