There is a problem when some of the students in the classroom is a lack of focus with a professor while teaching, especially in mathematics.
Sometimes boredom or lack of interest or any other reason ?
The question is how to bring the attention of the student and make the observer for the lesson?
@Raheam, here is a fine paper about the issue,"Motivation: A Key to Effective Teaching" by Patrick J. Eggleton, published in The Mathematics!
There are general strategies and some nice examples for maths!

Dear Raheam,
Timing of Math lectures is very important in this issue. I believe morning is the best timing for Math lessons in general.
It could be good idea, to give students some motivation,
to show real life applications of theory in regular way, (it could be in the form of short breaks, using some visualization, maybe in the form of joke), another thing is good reward system,
The key to success is to show the mathematics in such a way that amazed, surprised the students
Dear Piotr Artriemjew you have reason , this is a good idea
Dear Mahfuz Judeh you have reason but not in all situation can choose a good time in dept. of Math, because all courses is of Mathematics science.
Dear Raheam
The human being learns , preferably , by repetition. The child repeats what the parents speak , what their parents do, songs and gestures .
You can speed up to ten times the learning using simple tools memorization and small changes in routine habits of learning.
The student wants to absorb the entire contents in one reading . The reading of a text implies a second reading . This rereading is doing to fix the student learning .
Mnemonic strategies at the time of the study encourages learning and makes the individual store that content in memory longer , either three weeks or for the rest of life
A mathematical facing a playful proposal - without losing sight of content - through which the student acquires the responsibility with the knowledge and happy to learn. Participation in Math Olympics with medals and honors for participants . Competitions multiplication tables , power point ,through which students must answer them in the predetermined time . (stimulates rapid and logical reasoning)
This tailoring teaching to modern times is critical to the development and interest in learning
@Piotr Artiemjew: It could be good idea, to give students some motivation,

I find that students are more likely to be motivated to explore gems in mathematics, if the gems have some form of visualisation. Thanks to Mathematica, it is possible to visualise large hunks of beautiful mathematics. It also helps to include animation, making it possible to manipulate parameters that make it possible to change the shape of geometric visualisation.

Dear Ljubomir Jacić many thanks for your answer , this is very interested article for the strategy of teaching ?
