  Case: Warm Up
I have an issue with students not getting started on their warm up upon entering the class. Instead, I have to prompt the students to begin working. What suggestions, methods, or alternatives are their to starting class?
Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!)
Making a game out of something will almost always improve work ethic. "Whoever is done with their warm-up first, flip their paper and put their head down." This will not only prompt students to complete it upon entering, wanting to get to class sooner, but they are also being quiet after finishing the assignment by putting their head down. This could be met with a variety of rewards such as skipping the warm up one day or having a homework pass.
