He will answer whatever question I ask without considering other kids who may have the answer, is hyperactive and won't listen. The other children are disturbed by him. But in exams he does well.How do I take control of him and at the same time not impact his motivation level? Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!) I think it is great that this student is so enthusiastic, though,I can see how his actions can be disturbing to the others in the classroom.I believe the best approach is to get some advice from some of other teachers in the school. The other people you can seek out would be the guidance counselors and school psychologist. It might also be a good idea to talk to him one-on-one and tell him its great he knows what is going on, But, maybe he hasn't thought that other kids might want to answer some questions.
