Starting today on Tuesdays and Thursdays I will be sending a new type of homework home. The students will be given and example of a word problem that has been solved INCORRECTLY. The students will need to A) solve it correctly, B) identify the error the original students made, and C) write a letter to the teacher explaining what the original student did incorrectly and how they could fix the error.
This new type of homework will get the students to think more critically about a word problems. If they can identify errors in other's work, they will find it in their own work as well.
Tomorrow, I will post a picture of a completed assignment so you can see how well it works.
Enjoy!
