Abstract
Mathematics is an area which has shown some decline in standardized test scores as well as a shortage in the number of educators graduating in the field. In mathematics, average SAT scores have fallen 40 points since 1963, and a 1981 survey of 45 states revealed a shortage of mathematics teachers in 43 states. This report by the National Commission on Excellence in Education (1983) states that "We are a nation at risk" because of this decline in educational achievement since the early 1960s. This decrease in mathematics achievement is a concern of many educators, including the researcher. What may be done to motivate students in order to increase their level of achievement in mathematics?
