Especially with regard to the matter of obscuring solutions, I would emphasize that being clear with the work is more important than getting to the answer, since they already have the answer. But, your point is totally valid.Andrewhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05546307689313619934noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23903680.post-89997263673304070832016-08-30T07:52:07.472-05:002016-08-30T07:52:07.472-05:00The second way (Show that...) is how many IB quest...The second way (Show that...) is how many IB questions are structured.

Of course not all students do that but it's great to see when they say something like "wait a minute, that can't be right."
