Hello TBL list members,
I have an intro bio course this fall that often has students enrolled who
have negative attitudes toward math and varying experience levels. It is
not uncommon to hear "I'm not good at math" from these students. Similarly,
we have students that label themselves as not good at science. Math/science
negativity seems like something we should address, just as we address the
opposition to team work and flipped classrooms in our course with the
excellent first-day TBL activities.
I am searching for an activity to introduce students to the idea of growth
and fixed mindsets w.r.t. math and/or science. Do any of you have any
materials that might be relevant?
Thank you,
Heather
