Growth Mindset and Goal Setting

Learning Intention:
I am learning to explore personal abilities.

Success Criteria:
1) Identify a personal strength
2) Outline a range of personal strengths, giving examples to support claims
3) Classify personal strengths based on selected transdisciplinary skills

Students used checklists to assess their juggling abilities. They practiced until they could improve and continued to record their progress.




After the juggling session, students reflected with a partner. They talked about what their next steps are and how they know that these are their next steps. Grade 2 students understand the importance of taking charge of their own learning.

Why do we take a Mathletics Pre-Assessment?

Students take the Mathletics Pre-Assessment to inform their teachers of their Mathematics skills. The data collected is laid out in a way that helps students visually identify areas they have done well in and areas where they can work to improve. This data is used to create Math goals throughout the school year. Examples of questions that students answered incorrectly were provided. This was useful because the students could see the kinds of questions that they need to practice and spend more time with.
