Hi all,
My DS is demonstrating his different perspective on things in his math homework - and getting marked wrong; without explanation.
Latest example: he has to colour 2/5 of a pie chart so instead of just colouring 2 of the 5 segments, he colours half each of 4 of the segments. It isn't what they are asking for but it isn't wrong either.
He does have a tendancy to overcomplicate simple tasks and has always been one to get the easy questions wrong yet do well on tougher questions.
I'm wondering if it may be an indication of lack of challenge? (This is year 5 maths by the way
)
thanks for reading
