Motivated: Designing Math Classrooms Where Students Want to Join In

Do your math students offer one- or two-word responses in class?

Do your carefully planned lessons feel unsuccessful? “I’ve tried everything,” you think. “Shouldn’t math be a little more engaging?” Ilana Seidel Horn understands your frustration.

Participating in math class feels socially risky to students. Staying silent often feels safer. In Motivated, Ilana shows why certain teaching strategies create classroom climates where students want to join in.

Five factors of motivational math classrooms

She introduces six different math teachers, in a range of school settings, who found that motivation requires more than an interesting problem. Their experiences highlight five factors that lower the risks and raise the benefits of participation:

Belongingness comes from students’ frequent, pleasant interactions with their peers and teachers. Meaningfulness answers the question, “When are we going to use this?” Competence helps all students discover their mathematical strengths. Accountability inspires students to participate in classroom life. Autonomy produces learners with tools for making sense of their work and seeing it through.

These features of motivational math classrooms are explored in-depth. You’ll find suggestions for identifying what impedes each factor, along with strategies for weaving them into your instruction. You’ll also be introduced to an online community who support each other’s efforts to teach this way.

A guidebook for motivating math students

Motivated is a guidebook for teachers unsatisfied with questions met by silence. By examining what works in other classrooms and following the example of been-there teachers, you’ll start changing slumped shoulders and blank stares into energetic, engaged learners.

Extended: 150 Days of Inspiration for Students

Isn’t It Time You Got Serious about Your Relationship with Christ?

Tired of “playing the game,” and want to get serious about placing Christ at the center of your life? Then Extended: 150 Days of Inspiration for Students is for you!

In Extended: 150 Days of Inspiration for Students, Jasmine Harper helps students take an honest and soundly scriptural look at their lives in order to experience a closer, more powerful, and far more fulfilling relationship with Christ.

Jasmine Harper draws from her own personal experiences—victories and struggles—to offer 150 days of challenges and encouragement as she reveals how God is deeply desiring a closer relationship with all of His children.

“If your soul is aching for a genuine, vibrant, personal relationship with Christ, a ‘good enough’ attitude just doesn’t cut it,” Harper states. “But put God first, give Him your best in your everyday life, and rely on Him instead of yourself—that’s when you’ll experience what it means to be a man or woman after God’s own heart!”

“Jasmine Harper represents a generation of young women who are both talented and charismatic. What truly makes her stand out is an understanding of Scripture and commitment to teaching.”
—Josh Wellborn, Student Ministries Director, Michigan District Assemblies of God

“Not just a dynamic voice to her generation, but with depth, conviction, and clarity, Jasmine Harper’s words are a challenge and an encouragement to all believers.”
—Ron Kopicko, Spring Arbor University Chaplain

“Jasmine has a deep relationship with Christ and wisdom beyond her years. It’s clearly not just a devotional for students but for anyone who loves Jesus. Consider this your invitation to join Jasmine on her journey as she walks out her own faith.”
—Mark Harper, pastor, filmmaker, and author of The Red Book, an Amazon #1 bestselling book

Affirmation | The 100 Most Powerful Affirmations for Students — Including 2 Positive & Affirmative Action Bonus Books on Success & a College Mindset, Also Included Conscious Visualization

Audio Version is Now Available with Audible!

Exclusive Offer — Today Includes 2 Amazing Bonus Books: The 100 Most Powerful Affirmations for Success & The 100 Most Powerful Affirmations for a College Mindset


You will not achieve fulfillment and happiness until YOU become the architect of your own reality. Imagine that with a few moments each day, you could begin the powerful transformation toward complete control of your own life and well being through positive affirmation. Because you can.

You will be able to release all fear and doubt simply because you know that you can. Utilize this simple, proven technique to regain the lost comforts of joy, love, and fulfillment in your life.

You have the ability to unlock your full inner-potential and achieve your ultimate goals. This is the age-old secret of the financial elite, world class scholars, and Olympic champions. For example, when you watch the Olympics, you’ll find one consistency in all of the champions. Each one closes their eyes for a moment and clearly affirms & visualizes themselves completing the event flawlessly just before starting. Then they win gold medals and become champions. That’s merely one example of how the real power of affirmation can elevate you above any of life’s challenges.

Life is too short to be exhausted on thousands of everyday anxieties and fears. Sadly, the average person will get to the end of their life and realize that more than half of it was spent struggling with these kind of problems. Because they didn’t know what to do, many of these people never found any satisfaction in life. You can and will become bigger than those struggles by enhancing the energy that already flows within you.

Too often people are held hostage and limited by a cycle of negative thinking and pessimism. This kind of thinking creates a streak of what many choose to call, “bad luck”. I have good news for you. There is no such thing as “bad luck”. This phenomenon is merely a cycle of negative affirmation that must be broken and mended with a fresh regimen of positive affirmation and vision. By repeating and remembering these affirmations in times of difficulty, we transform our rigid affirmations of defeat and intimidation into warm, confident manifestations of the world as we choose it to be.

Get what you want and desire from the world like millions of others around the globe using affirmations. You already possess the power to assert your own perceptions and transform your thoughts and desires into reality. By using positive affirmations daily, you will unlock that natural potential inside of you.

If you want to see positive change now, you’ll find the quickest path to fulfillment with positive affirmation and visualization. There is no time to spend on loss, negativity, and defeat when you can be achieving tangible, historically proven results with minimum time and effort invested.

There is no limit to changes that can be made through the power of creating truth with affirmation…
