Reading Directions...

Common mistakes being seen over here when grading tests. I remember being told as a student from both my teacher and my parents to make sure I "read the directions", and I guess there was a reason that they said so. Students are continuing to jump to work on a given problem without reading the simple statement above instructing them what to do. Moving on I will make sure that I write above any given problem that I am working through as examples the instructions of what we are doing. This way students will become more familiar with those instructions and what falter on tests.
