  Case: Motivation or Desire to be Rewarded?
In a classroom I observe, there are certain prizes students win by completing work, getting 100's, etc. I'm not sure if the students are completely absorbing the information, or just want to quickly complete it to gain a reward. Is there a way to reward students while also not ensuring hard work is involved?
Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!)
It is important to not overuse rewards with students as they may take advantage with it and the reward loses its value. I would make sure that students are not being rewarded for what they are expected to do. Reward students for things like working together to complete the worksheet, helping students in need, etc.
