She would like to modify her approach to teaching so that more girls stay engaged in math. Which of the following approaches is likely to be most successful? Group of answer choices focusing more on the importance of getting good grades in her class in order to be good at math reducing the importance she places on grades and reinforcing the effort of students to learn the material only giving challenging assignments and encouraging students to avoid failing on these tasks emphasizing to students that it is more important to appear to be good at math than to actually be good at math
