[quote=Anonymous]My 5th grade DS can be the same. This school year, for his first math test, I told him I would "make it worth his while" if he went through the whole test twice, to check his answers. And, I told him he should NOT be the first to finish! It was kind of a joke between us because I was so purposely vague/mysterious about what that meant. It has just become a running joke. I don't expect him to score perfectly or even really value the checking of his work intrinsically right now. He just does it to humor ol' mom. Maybe I get him an iTunes song, pack of football cards or something. Totally on the honor system as to whether he checked his work on a test. Basically, I agree with the person who said to incentivize the habit of checking your work. I don't lecture or try to seriously convice DS on the value of it--I just don't think that is the way to get to the goal right now. [/quote]
