A co-worker I team with has a great plan for our 9th grade Algebra students. The program is based on a point system. The student earns points for being positive towards others and answer questions in class by raising their hand. The students receive negative points if they break the rules or are just plan bad behavior. Once a week she gives out a certificate to a student that stands out the most for the week with positive behavior, plus 10 positive points. The students can use these to use the rest room, buy a pencil and other activities when offered. It takes a while for students to catch on. It is a breath of fresh air.

To keep a tally in a spread sheet helps keep kids honest, at the end of the class period you can distrute the paper points on color paper or wait till the end of the day.
