  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!)
I would implement some simulation or problem-based learning activities. This way, students can collaborate in a manner that is engaging and productive. This will also make math more applicable to their daily lives. While students are collaborating, I would walk around the room interact with each group by conferencing and/or scaffolding. The calling out may also be a means of avoidance or attention.
