error. I easily become involved in this activity.___________________________

5.2.4

-p-

I try harder to learn mathematics in individual sessions rather than
whole-class sessions because I have to rely on myself in individual
sessions.___________________________________________________________

5.2.5

Γ5^tr-

Children are motivated to learn mathematics by being involved in
practical work, ɪ think that the lack of experience of making or doing
something from their younger days inspires their curiosity towards
learning mathematics by this method._______________________________

5.2.6

8^th

τ

Pupils are more interested in observation and experiences than
thinking at the desk. Practical work can avoid providing pupils with
repeated practice. It maintains pupils’ motivation to learn
mathematics._____________________________________________________

8^th

~P~~

The teaching methods which inspire our interest promote our
motivation to learn mathematics._____________________________________

5.2.8

8^th

~p^-

I feel I try hard when I take part in practical activities, because I am
very interested in what we can find out through experiments.__________

5.2.9

8^th

I am motivated to learn mathematics by using a computer, because
learning mathematics by using a computer is more interesting than
learning mathematics from just listening to teachers’ explanations.

5.2.10

-ɛffr-

^^P~

Mathematics is my favourite subject, and I can do it well. I am
interested in doing exercises and am motivated to do them.___________

It is important to value individual needs rather than collective needs.
In a whole class, it is important in order to promote pupils’ motivation
to learn mathematics.________________________________________________

__

This teaching method can maintain pupils’ motivation to learn
mathematics, because it can avoid uniform style lessons._____________

5.2.14

Pupils’ attainments become more diverse as their grades proceed. The
teaching methods which cater for the pupils’ individual needs promote
their motivation to learn mathematics.__________________________________

5.2.15

Teachers can provide support to individuals according to their level of
understanding so pupils are motivated to apply their understanding to
other tasks.____________________________________________________________
