Stanford University math course

Hi everyone,

Welcome back to my week 2 blog post about a the Stanford university math course we have been doing.
This course was really good and helped me learn lots of things.

In lesson 1, I didn't think that this course was gonna work and that it was gonna be a waste of my time but now I know that it was really good that I did it because I have learnt so much from it and I feel like I am more stronger in maths and I have a better growth mindset about maths.

Lesson 2 Mindset. In lesson 2 we learned about having a growth mindset and what the difference between a growth mindset and a fixed mindset. I also learnt that the only way to be good at something is too have a growth mindset and not a fixed mindset.

Lesson 3 Mistakes. In lesson 3 we learned about making mistakes and that its good to make mistakes because then we learn from them and we can make sure that we do better next time.

Lesson 4 Number flexibility. In lesson 4 we learned about the messages people get in their head that they are not good enough and they are not smart enough to do math questions. They also said that we need to make sure we keep those bad messages out of out head because they aren't true.

Lesson 5 Making Sense & Intuition. In lesson 5 we learnt about looking at something with vision and it also told me about what pi is and what it is and means when other people who have done well in math what they have done with pi and how they have used it and how the result went with it.

Lesson 6 Math and Patterns. In lesson 6 the final lesson we learnt about patterns and how they are made all around the world with animals and sports and everyday life. I found this very interesting because we are actually using math without knowing it.

Now I think thats all for today and I hope you learned lots about the Stanford University course and I will see you next time, Bye!

Have you ever done a math course like this before?
