Children should be learning the subject matter. So, if they are taking algebra, they should be learning it well enough that they can correctly answer questions based on the topics they have studied no matter how the questions are worded or constructed. Studying test questions will enable them to answer similar test questions but the goal should be for them to learn algebra, not just know how to answer particular types of questions on a test. If they really learn and understand algebra, they will be able to answer algebra questions no matter what format. I am sure they have been doing lots of algebra problems in class; they can study those problems and even make up their own, another good study method. The goal should be to master the subject studied, not to simply do well on a test.

Sure, that's the goal, but we know that that goal is not being achieved, for most anyway.  So why not let them figure out why they're making mistakes?  This doesn't need to be something we hide the ball on.[/quote]
