As a parent, math teacher, and community member, I think we need to make a change in our cultural attitudes about math. We developed a Facebook group for that reason. “Changing Math Attitudes” is a place for anyone of any math ability level and “like”-level to come and have an opportunity to learn and share with others. We would love to have you and your readers combine your efforts with us! Thanks for sharing this!

I would always leave a question blank in maths rather than get it wrong when I was a child, yet I know now I would have been better to try and get it wrong. I now try to teach my children to make mistakes.

Thanks Amy! I agree, it’s never a bad thing to try different approaches and learn to tackle problems different ways! 🙂 Thanks for stopping by!

I always tell my boys that sometimes the best way to learn is to be wrong! Searching for a different approach to a math problems can solidify the concept. Thanks so much for reminding us all that it’s okay to make mistakes:)
