Math is for Everyone! Poster

Here is a free math poster celebrating that Math is for Everyone!  This poster adds a big of growth mindset to a math classroom and reminds students that math is for all of us. You can download it from the dropbox link in the post. Each of the people in the circle is helping to hold a sign with a math symbol on it. At the top is a heart, because of course we love math.

"I'm not a math person."

"I just can't do it."

"My family is more full of readers than mathematicians."

"I was never good at math."

Hold up!


We are all math people! 


It always breaks my heart when kids fall back on the comfortable "well, math is not for everyone" when faced with challenging problems. Just like with anything else, getting back up, dusting ourselves off and trying again is everything. This is the same with math. 

Every kid is a Math Person. We all need math to get by in life, and the more math we know, the easier life is. And the less we need to rely on others to help us with numbers.

The act of working though math problems develops the problem solving part of our brain. This is my answer when students ask, "When will I ever use this?" You might not use this exact topic, but solving math problems is teaching your brain an important thinking skill.
