Thoughts on developing mathematical resilience from Nick Peatfield
Writing about web page http://www.bsrlm.org.uk/IPs/ip35-2/BSRLM-IP-35-2-13.pdf
Nick Peatfield, University of Bristol and John Cabot Academy, develops the construct Mathematical Resilience further:
He writes: "Some general form of learning resilience was part of [many previous initiatives]. It was Johnston-Wilder and Lee (2010), however, who first tried to refine this notion to apply specifically to mathematics, and pull out some of the specific mathematical attributes and strategies that learners need to have in order to be resilient in doing mathematics."
