Reflection on Stuck on Khan

Stuck on Khan? Checklist You have many resources at your disposal to help you overcome a question or difficulty.  If you have a math question that arises during Khan work time, follow the steps below: yes o Click on the button “Show acceptable answer formats”.  Review the acceptable answer formats to ensure you have entered the answer in the required format. Sometimes o Ensure that you have reduced your answer to simplest form.  (For example, if you entered 2/70, you would need to simplify it to 1/35). yes o Write down all your work on paper. Showing your work may help you identify a mistake yourself, and it can help your teacher or fellow students figure out where you got confused. no o Draw a picture, if applicable.  For example, if you are solving for the area of a living room, draw a picture of the room and label any information that is given. Sometimes seeing the problem as a picture can help you figure out how to solve it. yes o Watch a video.  Appropriate videos are recommended in the “Need Help?” section of each exercise module.  This will not reset your streak. yes o Get a hint.  Use the “hints” feature in Khan to see a step-by-step solution of the problem.  This will reset your streak. yes o Try a new question in the same exercise module.  Repeat the above steps. yes o Ask another student who is already proficient in that exercise to help you figure out where you got stuck or to explain the concept to you. Make sure he or she helps you understand the concept and doesn’t just give you the answer. sometimes o Ask your teacher for help if he or she is available. yes o If your teacher is unavailable and none of these other methods work, move on to another exercise and return to that exercise later.
