Correct
Answer:
When the student does the question by following the steps: Praise the
student and point out his/her good practice (to prevent careless mistake) and
fluency (he/she has been practicing similar questions)
Wrong/No Answer (Careless or Don’t Know):
The student can either be making careless mistake(C) or does not know(DK)
to do it.
Careless or Don’t
Know?
Let’s determine:
1. Ask the student
if there is any other keyword to circle/underline.
2. Highlight that the word ‘AVERAGE’ is also a keyword.
3. Ask student for Average definition/formula
Don’t Know: If student cannot answer the meaning of Average
Careless: If student
can answer.
4. Ask student should the question be label as ‘Careless’ or ‘Don’t
Know’ (to make sure that the student understands the ‘Careless’ / Don’t Know’
terms)
If Careless:
1. Reiterate the practice of
CIRCLE/DRAW/SOLVE (CDS)
2. If the student loses focus/lack of attention, request him/her to draw STARTING/ENDING line.
and to complete question before taking a break à To start and end a question before any other
distraction.
3. RE-DO
the question or another similar question until the student has the
correct answer.
If Don’t Know:
1. The Student should still
CIRCLE the keywords and DRAW and show the working of the portion that he/she
understand.
-> Praise the student as
he/she has circled and did the necessary portion
2. REVISE the topic's portion again
3. Student RE-DO the
same question again after the revision. The tutor can set additional 1-2
similar questions for the student to do as well.
