Our students often never understand how they misplaced a negative symbol or added instead of subtracting. They often think of this is a part of the math process, and it is, to an extent. Many times, to my own embarrassment, I've stood in front of a classroom and butchered a problem on the white board. My only self-medication for these "duh" moments was knowing that we deal in an unforgiving science.
But still, I often wonder why our students are so sloppy in their work. I once pulled a young man, who was an incredible basketball player, off to the side to ask how he perfected is form so well in the sport. His response was of course practice. If I would have thought about it at that time I would have paralleled his form in basketball with his form in my lecture hall, but I didn't. I'm writing this now so that you may draw this parallel with your students.

I’d like to thank you for the efforts you have put in writing thiks Math website.
I was using pay someone to write my assignment Service to do my project when I came on your blog, which I enjoy. By the way, I also often wonder why our students are so slow in their work and seek help at work.
