I agree with all of Lizzie’s comments here. Mine are:

Good @ math:

– Often have support at home

– Good at seeing/recognizing patterns

– Learned early math easily

– Believe they “can”

– Connect with the learning/can apply it to real life.

Poor @ math:

– Often don’t have support at home, or have chaotic home-life

– struggle to see patterns

– struggled with early math, maybe due to no connection to it.

– believe they “can’t”

– often struggle in many subjects at school

In common:

– age alike peers

– capable humans

– can choose to practice or participate

– use math in real life, whether they recognize it or not.

– have me willing to help if they reach out at all.

– are valuable, interesting, and not perfect.
