  Case: Change in Vocabulary
Mr. Sams is a math teacher who is enthusiastic about math. He works with kids who haven't had a good experience with the subject. Most of the students blurt out comments like "I hate math", "Math is unnecessary", "I don't understand anything", etc. He is working hard to make students change their phrases to more positive statements. It worked for some weeks but students are falling back to their old vocabulary. Mr. Sams is looking for strategies to keep students engaged with the positive phrases. What could he do to make students fall back on the positive track?
Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!)
Mr. Sams can create a math jargon jar, where the students can earn a marble each time they use a positive statement related to math. This can provide the students with an incentive to work toward. If they known that they are working toward something, they will be more likely to rid themselves of the negative vocabulary and fill themselves with positive statements.
