ST Math Hallway Display for Student Motivation

At my elementary school, we use ST Math, which is an online math program that is aligned to Common Core.  Most of my students love the program and ask to get on often, though not everyone is as eager to get on, especially if they are challenged by their current level.  I created the following hallway display to motivate students to keep moving towards their goals, as well as to reinforce equivalent fractions and the connection between fractions and percentages.  We were trying to get all of the students to 75% before the major state testing, and thankfully we had a number of students that made it to 100% of their syllabus progress before the state testing.  Students would come up to me every week and ask me if I was going to move their car, and when I did, the students would gather around to show off their progress.

I have included a before and after photo to show how much the students progressed in this program from January to March 2014.
