Perseverance

What is Perseverance?

Actually, when it comes to the advancing math learner, perseverance can be described as true "grit".  This means that learners are able to stick with a problem until it is solved, but also to be able to find resources and strategies that will help them find the answer to complex problems they cannot easily solve.
