Anonymous wrote: Math errors like this mean the student is not getting enough practice. Or it means they are bored, or it suggests attention issues, or it means that they have way too many problems and the kid's concentration broke down two pages ago. [/quote] Again, practice is very important. Getting it right has to be important. Having the concentration and grit to power-through what's boring. The child has to care to truly excel in a subject. Unfortunately I'm not sure you can teach this, they have to want it. Signed ~ mother of a stem doctoral student [/quote]
