3-4 sentence summary in my own words
This article is good for understanding what children need in order to succeed not only in math, but in any subject, especially if that subject is one they don't particularly love. It shows different ways you can keep children engaged so they don't lose interest but even enjoy math, through things like incentives and expectations. Overall it was a pretty good article and definitely helped connect motivation and success.
