We had a good example last night on an "enrichment" page for enVision math. This is 4th grade math by the way.
The question was something like this - You have the number 9 and you multiply it by another number and you get 9. What is the number? Write out the problem and explain how you got your answer.
DD of course wrote out 9X1=9 and for her explanation she wrote, "because that is the answer"...so much for enrichment and going deeper into the problem. I asked her if she thought she explained how she came up with that answer very well and I got the "seriously, Mom" look. I told her even though she was right, she might not get all the points possible if she didn't try to explain better. She was okay with what she put and left it that way.
