Anaiah Learns to Invest: Building A Math Mindset

Whether it's multiplication or measurements, math can be tricky sometimes, even for Anaiah.

In Grade 5, Anaiah realizes she has trouble understanding formulas and math problems. She wants nothing more than to be like her friends who are math wizzes. But when her teacher suggests an individual education plan (IEP) for math, she worries that she will be judged by everyone.

When Anaiah begins to look around for help, it turns out that she is not alone. A lot of people struggle with math, including many pioneers. With the help of her family and community, Anaiah embarks on a journey to overcome her fears and invest in her math mindset.
