Understanding the Chart
1.
Title: The chart is titled "Joshua's Reward Chart," indicating it is personalized for Joshua.
2.
Days of the Week: The chart includes columns for each day of the week (Sun, Mon, Tue, Wed, Thur, Fri, Sat).
3.
Tasks/Goals: The leftmost column labeled "I will..." is where specific tasks or goals are listed. These tasks should be filled in by the user (e.g., "Clean my room," "Finish homework").
4.
Stickers: Each day has a corresponding cell where stickers can be placed to indicate completion of the task for that day.
5.
Totals:
- At the bottom, there is a "Total" row to count the total number of stickers earned each day.
- On the far right, there is a "Total" column to sum up the stickers earned across all days.
6.
Rewards: At the bottom of the chart, there are three reward sections:
- After a certain number of stickers, a reward is earned. These sections allow you to define what the rewards will be.

How to Use the Chart
1.
Define Tasks: In the "I will..." column, write down the tasks or goals Joshua needs to complete each day. For example:
- Sun: Clean my room
- Mon: Finish homework
- Tue: Practice piano
- Wed: Read a book
- Thur: Help with dinner
- Fri: Exercise
- Sat: Organize toys
2.
Track Progress: Each time Joshua completes a task for a day, place a sticker in the corresponding cell for that day.
3.
Calculate Totals:
- At the end of each day, count the stickers in that row and write the total in the "Total" row.
- At the end of the week, sum up all the stickers from the "Total" column to get the weekly total.
4.
Earn Rewards: Based on the number of stickers collected, Joshua earns rewards as defined in the reward sections at the bottom of the chart. For example:
- After 10 stickers: Small treat (e.g., extra screen time)
- After 20 stickers: Medium reward (e.g., new toy)
- After 30 stickers: Big reward (e.g., trip to the park)

Example Problem and Solution
####
Problem:
Joshua wants to earn his first reward. The chart specifies that he gets a small treat after earning 10 stickers. How many more stickers does he need if he has already earned 7 stickers?
####
Solution:
1.
Current Stickers: Joshua has earned 7 stickers.
2.
Goal: He needs 10 stickers to earn the small treat.
3.
Stickers Needed: Subtract the current number of stickers from the goal:
\[
10 - 7 = 3
\]
Joshua needs
3 more stickers to earn his first reward.
---
Final Answer
If Joshua has earned 7 stickers and needs 10 to earn his first reward, he needs:
\[
\boxed{3}
\]
more stickers.
