Description
Who's Afraid of a Big Growth Mindset?
You know the story of the three little pigs. But you’ve never explored it like this. Here are 60 challenging pig-related classroom exercises that will ask your students to try, try again, make mistakes, have false starts, persist, sweat, struggle and eventually succeed. It may make their brains hurt, but it is a hurting brain that is a growing brain.
While this book uses the story of the three little pigs, it really isn’t about the pigs and the wolf. It’s about helping your students develop a growth mindset by getting them to think between, above, below, around and beyond the lines. And once they’ve grown their brains by working through the challenges in this book, they will be ready to accept new challenges and to keep growing more and more neural connections.
