Tips to motivate our students

To get our students motivated in mathematics, I will give you somes with which you can motivate them and get them to improve their skills:

1) Approach

Math is closer than we think, but surely your students don't understand it yet. The first step to motivate them is to show them that this science is in their day to day, to do it, you must know their tastes and activities to be able to point out to them which part of these is linked with the mathematics.
2)Presents challenges:

Surely your students enjoy a good challenge that allows them to learn but at the same time compete and highlight their skills. It looks for mathematical challenges to the level of the knowledge that they have and divides the group creating a competition, this will make that their motivation increases in the moment but also in the long term.
3) Play:
Some games imply a constant use of this science and allow to develop the mathematical reasoning in a playful way. Putting them in the classroom can be an excellent idea.

4)Use multimedia resources:
There are dozens of videos, lectures and even films that seek to convey the importance of learning mathematics. Through audiovisual resources, perhaps, you can manage to transmit the concepts that you do not achieve that your students understand or internalize.
5) Divide:
Pay attention to the diversity present in the classroom and always remember that not all students learn in the same way or have the same skills. The important thing is that by dosing the math knowledge always attend to this reality and make sure that all go to the same level. To facilitate your task you can recommend material in which to consult or review the taught in class and make sure that your students have sites to resort to if they do not fully understand the lesson.
