What's the Math mindset?
I can't do this...
Growth and Mastery!
Don't give up, be persistent, always try, you can't do this yet...but you will!
Remember, neuroscience shows people who believe they can do it or can eventually do it, always perform better than people who don't!
You only have to be a little better than you were last time, and eventually, cumulatively, you'll be a master!

Why does Tingles make you correct your own work?
It's called Feedback and Reflection - So we know if we got something wrong, and can fix it, or get help with it, because making a mistake is where majority of our learning takes place
Also because you're big kids now, and when you get to VCE math's it's something you'll do all the time, so it's good practice to start now

Math is mental exercise for our brain, every bit of math we try, and struggle with, is like doing a bicep curl for our brain, it makes it stronger, more resilient and more capable!
You might use formulas and concepts in your life/work but even if you don't math helps develop your pattern recognition, critical and creative thinking and problem solving areas in your brain, making you a mentally stronger and sharper person
Think about the smartest people in the world, what did they have in common? Math (and science).

Why does Tingles force us to do everything by hand instead of just letting us do Math's online all the time?
Forces you to show your working, keeps a record of the work you've done (so you're accountable), allows you to correct it and learn from mistakes, allows you to see where and why you made mistakes?
Math's online makes you lazy!
