But when they go to the lunch line to buy food items none of them use addition . What can she do to get her students to translate her lessons to real world situations? Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!) Many schools have begun implementing school 'bucks' as a way of encouraging positive behaviors and rewarding students. These bills can then be used to allow students to purchase something from the school or class store. I would suggest being very intentional when students shop for their prizes and having them think aloud as they are buying and paying!
