JOB GOAL: To support incoming grades 6-8 grade students with math skills needed to successfully transition into their next grade.  The Macomb Intermediate School District is offering a summer math camp for students entering 6 , 7th or 8th grade who believe mathematics is not their strength. The goal is to communicate brain research to math students and teach them through an approach that is open, creative and visual. The term “growth mindset” comes from the work of Carol Dweck. Her studies show that everyone holds ideas about their own potential. Students with a fixed mindset are those who are more likely to give up easily, whereas students with a growth mindset are those who keep on going even when work is hard, and who are persistent. The curriculum is based on a model used at Stanford University with 81 students with a wide range of achievement levels. Students in the study demonstrated 1.6 years of growth after 18 days of instruction. (Jo Boaler, Mathematics Education Professor, Stanford University) www.youcubed.org
