Math Task - Proving ALL Triangles Equal 180 Degrees
This is a Mathematics lesson based on the New Common CORE Standards. It addresses 7th grade standard 7.GB.5 but I have used it with my 5th grade class. It is meant as a problem solving task for students to introduce them to solving for the unknown angle of a triangle. The lesson presents them with a theory that all angles of ANY triangle when added will equal 180 degrees. They will then work in small groups to either prove this is correct or incorrect.

Growth Mindset Math-Algebra
Growth Mindset is a way of thinking that encourages perseverance, self-confidence, and skill. It is a process by which we focus on the journey and not on the destination. A Fixed Mindset, on the other hand, is a way of looking at yourself with ‘fixed ‘ traits. You may believe that inborn talent means success.
This thinking prevents you (and your brain muscle) from growing (and learning) because your negative thoughts are blocking the brain from absorbing new information.
