  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!)
Some students may work better in their mind than by showing the work on paper. Maybe if the teacher sat down with him and showed him how to properly show his work for algebraic procedures that could help. Also, a template could be provided for how to show his work.
