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!) Maybe the teacher can give verbal or tangible "rewards" when students show their work. This may motivate the student to do what is being asked of him and work through his errors in their initial phase.                 Rating The suggested solution is respectful of the individual (student) Yes The suggested solution is relevant to the case No The suggested solution is reasonable (easy) for the teacher to implement No The suggested solution is likely to solve the problem/issue No The suggested solution is original No Comments: I think this could help in the beginning, but the teacher should not always do this because then it will be expected by the student and they will once again stop showing their work.
