Today we looked at word problems what were similar to the solving equations we did last week. This concept proved to be a difficult one as these questions are of higher-order thinking. So we paused the lesson to scaffold it. In the meantime, we began discussing future plans as a Computer-Science Major. I looked up the courses required to obtain a degree in that major. Our class was cut short due to recess, but tomorrow we will go over this. I want Ben to understand, that if he wants to Major in Computer Science, he will need a certain course-load. And in order to be prepared for the college courses, he will need to receive/earn prerequisite credits. I am hoping Ben will make the connection that if he has goals he wants to meet, we have to make some changes now in order to get there.
