Okay, it's time for a positive rewards system in your classroom. I've been doing this for many years and it works. Print this, go over it with your students and watch homework effort improve. Students will also become more responsible and organized. A simple prize box with trinkets will do wonders! Price your items like pencils, small cars, erasers, etc. in your prize box and have "Prize Day" once a month. Students will use their hard earned tickets to reward themselves. Parents love this

Individual Multiplication Fluency Tracker (editable)

Created by

I use this individual tracker to measure 5th grade students' multiplication fluency. Instead of recording the grades in the gradebook, I have students fill in their scores on this sheet each time they are assessed, approximately every 2 weeks. Students are motivated when they improve their scores and continue to review their multiplication facts (0-12). If a student's score drops,he/she is reminded to have a growth mindset and strive to improve on the next assessment.
