  Case: Student refuses to do math
I have a student who refuses to do math on the computer (fastmath). If I force him to, he breaks down and throws a huge fit. Any advice to get him to do the work that is mandated by the county?
Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!)
You may have to use something that the student likes to motivate them. Like a pencil or positive reinforcement to promote that if they do their work they will be rewarded.

Comments: I feel that the solution can be implemented in the classroom easily and might help the student to want to do math when they recieve something for their hard work. I feel like I could do this in my future classroom if needed.

Comments: Rewards definitely work. Maybe pairing him up with someone else would work too. Some students don't like to do work online. Maybe find some alternatives.
