Growth mindset worksheets

Change fixed-mindset thoughts (“I can't do this”) into growth-mindset ones (“I can't do this yet”), and reflect on a challenge. There are 3 sheets here: fixed or growth?, flip the thought and my challenge. Pick one from the tray, print it, and add its answer key as a second page if you want one.
