Mathematics Teacher Lisa Winer (St Andrews School, Boca Raton, FL) enjoys giving her students new sorts of learning experiences. In her eatplaymath blog, I found the results of her suggestion that students submit mathy poems to their school literary magazine. I offer below the first of the poems in the collection that Winer offers; go here to read more -- AND, consider a poetry project for math students that YOU know!
Fixed Mindset vs. Growth Mindset
I am bad at math (read top to bottom)
I am horrible at math
So I'll never say that
I can get an A.
But, if I try my hardest
I will fail.
I know that it's okay
Cause when I am learning
I think it's too hard.
it's confusing
even when
I ask for help,
my questions seem stupid
Although
I try my best
I do not belong
I am wrong to say that
I am confident with my math skills
I am confident with math (read bottom to top)
