Set Your Math Mindset Goals

In this self-study module, you learned that math mindsets are the way you feel and think about math. Your own math mindset can impact how others approach math and develop their math mindsets.

This module also highlighted several key ideas about early math learning:

• Math is everywhere
• Math is for everyone
• Math is fun and playful
• Math mindsets matter

As you explore the other Count Play Explore suites of resources, consider the ways your math mindset continues to shift. You may encounter content that is unfamiliar to you or makes you feel and think differently about math. Pause to acknowledge and reflect on those feelings and thoughts.

Adults in your setting may be less excited about math or possibly experience math anxiety. To support others to develop positive math mindsets, check out the Math Mindsets Matter suite of resources. You may also want to check out the Building Systems to Promote Early STEAM in Your Agency (coming soon) self-study module. This module explores ways to work collectively with colleagues to strengthen early math efforts within your organization.
