She uses a currency of Skittles to reward good behavior, with each color worth a different amount of money.  So her students needed to keep a weekly total of their earnings and also the sum throughout the year.  I created a template for them to use that you can download by clicking <a href=\"http:\/\/teachers.henrico.k12.va.us\/staffdev\/clough_d\/ITRTFiles\/28Oct10\/5thSkittlesGraph.zip\">here<\/a>.  But the important part of this lesson is to guide the students through the steps of creating the various formulas.  It&#8217;s a great way to make math practical and interesting.  For each type of Skittle the students had to multiply by the cash value and then add them up.  You can see a sample by clicking the picture to make it larger.  Notice the complicated formula at the top.  The students did that themselves!  Now they have a quick way to keep track of their earnings.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Ms. Bradlee, a fifth grade teacher at Chamberlayne Elementary, wanted a way for her students to keep track of their behavior incentive program.
