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 love that the teacher is trying to make math a positive atmosphere! So many students struggle in math, so I think establishing a word wall with positive comments towards math would be a good idea. Have the students review or add to the wall weekly and have them turn to the wall to reference whenever they use negative words towards the subject.
