[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Hi OP, I don't think the problem is with checking. They need tons of drilling before getting anything done right. [/quote] OP here: I don’t think drilling is the answer. As another PP stated, these advanced kids find some of the mult-step processes to be tedious & for some, moving too quickly opens the door to sloppy mistakes. Moving at a slightly slower speed would help, but that’s easier said than done. For example, if mistakes are transposition errors, the only way to catch them is to re-do the problem or plug the answer into the equation. I suggested both of these strategies & my kid looked at me like I was speaking in tongues. [/quote] "Check your work" is part of the standard problem solving checklist: "Read, Plan, Do, Check" and it's various paraphrases. Eureka workbook does this, and the teachers teach it. Don't let your kid snow you. [/quote]
