How to be a Math Person:

1) Do math (any type)

2) Be a person!

Families and students love seeing this poster on my math wall! Helps build a low anxiety classroom for students who don't feel like they're "good" at math.

I have had many folks ask me where I found this! I actually found this in Norway at a school I visited over the summer last year. I looked it up once I returned and purchased this right away! The kids love it and many of the faculty have commented on the wording! Will be making a longer length one over the summer, ready for the fall. Thank you!

This was great! And she already put it in poster form (meaning breaking into individual pages) and then you could put it together like a puzzle.
