[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Nothing. I am a math teacher and the only way I can get kids to check their answers is to put a box on the test that gives points for showing the check—and even then often kids will just write “I did it on the calculator” or show a check that doesn’t work and submit it anyway.

It’s a battle I fight all year, every year.

If you find something that works, please share!![/quote]

Agree.

I have a child in very accelerated math.  Still an issue.  [/quote]

OP here. Also accelerated, but with little to no idea how to study or review/check their work (I think because it’s always come so easy). But the sloppiness is creeping in…[/quote]

Me again…
And they have no interest in listening to the parents about these things.[/quote]

Yep.  I’m the PP.  No advice, just solidarity.  Really frusterating (to me), but they are the ones that have to care.  And frankly, their math is too advanced for me to go over and check at this point [/quote]
