I have a student who is in my LD Algebra I class. When we are working on equations, he can solve the equation, i.e., 7(2)= 14 to tell me, but it is a several step equation, that only being one of the steps so we write it down as we go. When he goes to write the answer down…14, he writes 7 - part of the equation.
Any ideas?
