WITWITAT
this is my son's Xcredit question in his APalgebraII class

what is the answer.

and what do you think about this.

he may get every answer wrong on the algrebra, but give him this, and he aces it.

actually, du should embrace. algebra is the test and this is having student go outside the box
for extra credit. it has nothing to do with algebra, i dont think, but is having the mind do flexible thinking. something the people attacking education on is not pushing a student to go beyond.

well, here it is

but

your answer was wrong, lol

17. these extra credits are what gets him thru. it is funny how the brain works differently.
algebra is so hard for him. geometry easy.

this is easy. no one else in the class is getting this....

his very small moment to shine, lol

18. You should show him this thread.
Good for him. :)

Thinking outside the box is far better (IMO) than being able to study, retain, regurgitate.
