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!)
If showing his work when completing math problems causes a problem for Luke, his teacher could allow him to complete the problems without showing work and then explain to his teacher in words the algebraic steps he took to solve the problem. Algebra problems do tend to have multiple different steps and some students may mess up by skipping a step when writing it down on paper and/or forgetting to complete a step. By allowing the student to verbally explain how they got their answer, it would allow for the teacher to know that the student understands what they are doing as well as ensuring that the student understand how to follow and complete the algebraic steps for each of the problems. |

| Comments: I disagree. The student should be motivated to show his thought process on paper and not encouraged to verbally explain his answers. This takes a lot of time away from the teacher. |

| Comments: If a student is likely to forget a step when writing on paper, I believe they are also likely to forget a step when saying it orally. |

| Comments: This solution may be the best among the ones presented. It stimulates the child's learning in a way that is geared towards their own strengths, while following up with teacher enforcement and guidance if needed. |
