  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 always show examples with the work written out. I am not sure what her grading system is but a lot of times teachers give credit for showing their work. Implementing this will allow her to see his work

Comments: I don't think that always showing examples with the work written out would be beneficial, but I do think it could help every once in a while.
