Growth Mindset: Putting the Pieces Together

This is a puzzle activity that I use to help students understand what makes up a growth mindset. I used a famous quote from a celebrity and paired with it a potential thought, behavior and feeling that could be tied to the quote.

Sometimes I have the students attempt to figure all the quotes out at once, before I review them and go into further discussion. Other times, I use it just to give my visual learners a representation of what goes into a growth mindset. Having a concrete example helps them further understand the concept, which is the start of how they change their thoughts.
