Wow, you did great on that math problem you re so smart! It was a long, hard assignment, but you stuck to it and got it done. That s great! See, I told you that would be easy you re smart! For the student who gets an A without trying: All right, that was too easy for you. Let s do something more challenging that you can learn from. Nice job, you got an A without even trying. For the student who works hard and doesn t do well: I liked the effort you put in. Let s work together some more and figure out what you don t understand. Some people are just not good at math don t worry about it. 2019 |11
