Struggling student

From what I have observed about this struggling student I can see that no matter what activity is done is class the student shows very little desire in wanting to finish the activity. My host teacher offers the option to the student everyday either the student comes to the class and puts forth an effort of do the assignment or the student goes to the principals office. By doing this the decision is left up to the student as to whether he or she is willing to accomplish the task at hand for that day.

Verbatim Questions

1. What do you know from reading the question?
2. What do you think your first step should be to answering this question?
3. How did you get that answer?

Reactions:
1. The students told me the numbers the were important to that problem. This helped them to elimate the number that did not pertain to that particlular problem.
2. Many of the students first step was to set up the equation after reading the problem.
3. As the students showed me how they got that specific answer they would catch their own mistake or show a strong understanding of that specific problem.
