We began by reviewing Joshua's homework. He got a 100% on it! Then we worked on a Free Response problem together. He began the problem with the correct method but used 1 instead of -1 and his calculations weren't correct. I pointed it out and he made the mistake. Later in the class, Joshua said, "I seem to be getting all the PreCalculus stuff down, but the regular arithmetic I keep making mistakes with!" I asked him, "So since you're prone to do that, what can you do to make sure that doesn't happen?" He said, "I need to check myself before I wreck myself." LOL I told him he's right! He has to give himself the opportunity to check his work in hopes to catching any silly mistakes like that. We worked through the free response question and Joshua did quite well with it. We had time to practice multiple choice as well.
