  • Intrinsic motivation depends on three factors: autonomy, mastery, and purpose. Extrinsic motivators negatively impact creativity and problem solving. Increasing the intrinsic motivation of your lessons will lead to students being genuinely interested in learning the mathematics, not just in earning a grade.
