"Must it always come back to finding a reason why some children just can’t learn, as opposed to finding a way to help them learn? Teachers who understand the growth mindset do everything in their power to unlock their learning."

Youcubed!
Lots of great ideas in Mathematical Mindsets! I've explored youcubed.org a bit. Very user friendly. I like the background information; not too overwhelming. I think it might be my new favourite go to resource.
I have looked at it too but I keep forgetting about the great resources I come across as I find or discover new ones. Maybe we can use this post of yours as a post where we can continue to collect names of great resources that can be used. I personally love www.enrichmath.com. If we keep commenting on the same post for anything about resources we will have a great collection!
I like that idea, Monica. I don't think I have explored enrichmath.com as yet. So many great resources available that it is easy to become overwhelmed by it all. Finding rich math tasks becomes a little easier when you have a variety of resources to consult.
I also love the youcube site. We have done a few of the activities in class. I used the multiplication cards and it was so interesting to see how different students grouped the cards. It lead to a very good class discussion.
