Lesson Comments
Today's lesson with Brayden focused upon rules/methods for Integer Multiplication. Braden was reasonably well focused and worked diligently. He needs occasional reminders to check/proofread his work because he tends to "race through" his calculations without referring to rules and methods which are written out for him. However, the use of IXL is positively affecting his skill level and reinforcement of correct methods.
