| Abstract: | The Mindsets mathematics program addresses the challenge of engaging middle school students in rigorous, grade-level math by making mathematical reasoning relevant, collaborative, and accessible. This research examines how the program uses hands-on, real-world challenges to promote engagement and deep understanding while meaningfully improving students' mathematical reasoning and repeated reasoning skills. The study further demonstrates that Mindsets is effective in mixed-grade classrooms, supporting long-term success in mathematics. |
