[quote=Anonymous]This is usually more of a problem in elementary school when math is just really easy for kids who are really good at math. My son couldn't stand when they did estimating because he could figure out the exact answer in his head. He always missed those problems because he thought it was ridiculous to estimate an answer to a problem like that. Sometimes writing down work is NOT good. Kids who get math and can manipulate numbers in their heads should be skipping steps when it makes sense and they are not working with a partner. I don't want my son to write down intermediate steps just for the sake of writing them down if he is understands why the short cut works and is able to solve those steps with 100% accuracy. All you have to do with a student who doesn't show his work when needed is just keep giving him harder problems until he does. [/quote]
