How to not give up

While looking at learning skills today, a classmate asked “how do you ‘not give up’?”  Wanting clarification about what it means to persevere, and strategies to get through difficult problems (in life and in math).

We took a break from the math, and looked at all the strategies we could brainstorm to keep going, and get motivation….we looked at changing our thoughts, to setting small goals, to asking for help, and changing up approaches.  Here’s our list.  

Hopefully we will all become more resilient problem solvers in math and in life.
