The study aims at influencing the motivation and willingness of the Mathematics teachers for changing the diversity of the teaching methods involved. The researcher conducts an action research. Fourteen Mathematics teachers from the Junior High Schools (Post Primary Schools) are considered for this research. The study includes fourteen teachers from the post primary schools of Israel. Three questionnaires were used for this research as research instruments. The findings of the research reveal that a considerable number of teachers show willingness towards changing diversity concerned with the teaching methods. In the study fourteen participants were selected who teach Mathematics at a post primary school level. It was found that the motivation towards the willingness in teaching students have increased ever since they have increased their teaching towards the next classes. The most important of them all are the connection towards the motivation, the influences in the diversity with the teaching methods. Hence there arise a need for motivation with respect to the diversification of the teaching methods for encouraging and nurturing the motivation of the teachers. The main conclusion arising out of the research shows that the willingness towards changing is directly influenced by the levels of motivation among the teachers. Motivating the teachers or encouraging them influences the diversification of the teaching methods involved in the study.
