[quote=Anonymous]It’s fine to ask the teacher for her point of view, and to say that you notice careless errors and ask for advice about to help with that. Teachers want to help and want kids to do well. When the assignment comes home, go over the mistakes gently with your daughter. Have her use a highlighter to mark the addition or subtraction signs, or whatever part of the problem you think she disregarded, and solve correctly, so that she starts to stop herself when taking tests to check herself. It will take a while for this to work. Just focus on being careful, not if she added incorrectly or just didn’t know the answer. Don’t emphasize the grade, just the being careful part. If she gets stressed over this, stop after just one wrong question, and praise her for the ones she got right. [/quote]
