Test remediations were assigned. We began working on those in class.

What are remediations? After completing a unit in math, I give a test. This test is meticulously gone over by me, making comments when I can, in the hope that the student reads what I have written and learns from their mistakes. This is very time-consuming. Taken seriously, this is a powerful learning tool. No grade is given. Test remediation is then assigned, where the student must:

  • Explain their thinking (why did you put the answer you gave).
  • Do the problem correctly.
  • Explain why this is the correct answer.
They must do this for EVERY problem that they got wrong. Then they must get a parent signature and turn it in to me. These are DUE FRIDAY!! The retest is FRIDAY too!
