  Case: Stubborn Student
Luke is a math student in Ms. Stone's class. She emphasizes in the importance of showing the mathematical work on paper and not just relying on mental math. Sometimes this causes Luke to make mistakes, as Algebraic procedures can involve many steps. Luke seems to be reluctant to listen and doesn't follow the recommendations Ms. Stone gives. She has talked to him and tried to help him understand the reasons behind her suggestions.
What should Ms. Stone do to help Luke follow her procedures and show his work on paper?
Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!)
Ms. Stone should allow Luke to write his answer, and then go back and have him show how he did it. Maybe for tests you could accommodate him and have him tell you the answers if thats how he does best.

Comments: I think it would not benefit Luke to just write his answer and then go back to do the work or to speak to his teacher during a test. I think this is one of those situations where it is important to explain the benefits of showing your work, maybe rewarding Luke with things he likes would be an incentive to show his work.

Comments: This is a bit pointless since he woulf have already done the problem. The issue is getting him to show his work before hand. Otherwise this would just be wasting Luke and the teachers time after he’s already done the work
