Let’s Start with a Quiz…
Read each question and decide whether you mostly agree or disagree with it.
Write your answers on your sticky note.

1. Your intelligence is something very basic about you that you can’t change
very much.
Agree or Disagree?

quite a bit.
Agree or Disagree?

4. You can always substantially change how intelligent you are.
Agree or Disagree?

The Results
If you agreed with questions 1 and 2, you may have a fixed mindset
If you agreed with questions 3 and 4, you may have a growth mindset

What are Mindsets?
A mindset is a mental attitude that determines how you will interpret and respond to situations.

Review: Fixed vs. Growth Mindset
![Page 16: Mindsets](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022061201/54796d2eb4af9fd2568b4843/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
Table Talk…Do you think you can train your brain to be smarter?
![Page 17: Mindsets](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022061201/54796d2eb4af9fd2568b4843/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
What we know about the Brain
Brains are a lot like musclesWhat you’re
born with is just a start
What you do makes a big difference in how your muscles and brain grow and develop!
![Page 18: Mindsets](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022061201/54796d2eb4af9fd2568b4843/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
There are four
important ways that
muscles and brains are
alike.
![Page 19: Mindsets](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022061201/54796d2eb4af9fd2568b4843/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
1. Muscles and brains have tiny structures that grow and multiply.
Muscles have fibersThe contract
when the muscle is put to work
Your muscles grow as the fibers get bigger and new fibers are added
Brains have neuronsNeurons are
activated when the brain is in use
Your brain grows as new neurons are added
![Page 20: Mindsets](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022061201/54796d2eb4af9fd2568b4843/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
1. Muscles and brains have tiny structures that grow and multiply.
Muscles have FIBERS
Brains have NEURONS
![Page 21: Mindsets](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022061201/54796d2eb4af9fd2568b4843/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
2. Muscles and brains only develop when challenged by increasingly difficult tasks.
To develop bigger muscles…You need to lift
heavier and heavier weights
To develop your brain…You need to do
harder and harder work
![Page 22: Mindsets](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022061201/54796d2eb4af9fd2568b4843/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
Muscles and brains
only develop when PUSHED
past the point of
comfort.
![Page 23: Mindsets](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022061201/54796d2eb4af9fd2568b4843/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
3. Building muscles and building your brain take
time and sustained effort.
Sustained effort is required to…Build new
connections between neurons
Integrate new neurons into old neural pathways
![Page 24: Mindsets](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022061201/54796d2eb4af9fd2568b4843/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
In other words…
BRAIN SWEAT
![Page 25: Mindsets](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022061201/54796d2eb4af9fd2568b4843/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
4. Everyone can build their muscles and their brains.
Muscles and brains start small in everyone and grow with use.
Babies’ muscles start small and get bigger and stronger with use.
Brains become denser and more complex as new mental skills are developed.
![Page 26: Mindsets](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022061201/54796d2eb4af9fd2568b4843/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
4. Everyone can build their muscles and their brains.
BUILDING MUSCLE
makes you stronger!
Your new muscles can help you do all sorts of things!
BUILDING YOUR BRAIN
makes you smarter!
Your increased intelligence can help you learn in all subjects!
![Page 27: Mindsets](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022061201/54796d2eb4af9fd2568b4843/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
How are muscles and brains alike?
1. Both have tiny structures that GROW AND MULTIPLY.
2. These structures only develop when CHALLENGED by difficult tasks.
3. Both muscles and brains require SUSTAINED EFFORT in order to develop.
4. EVERYONE can build their muscles AND their brains.

So…
Does mindset matter?
YES!You can grow your
brain!
