"There's no such thing as a 'math person' or a 'math brain'...  It's a myth that only some students can be good at math." Jo Boaler

"Growth mindset says the brain is like a muscle that grows when it works hard. Teachers who use the approach believe their students will get better at something if they struggle with it a little, if they challenge themselves. A growth mindset is the opposite of a fixed mindset, which says that our abilities — in math, for example — are fixed, like our eye color or ­height." http://www.vcstar.com/
