After reviewing something incorrectly completed by a student, what should be the next step?

The most effective approach after identifying a misunderstanding or errors in a student's work is to review the mistakes, provide feedback for correction, and then engage with the student in a meaningful discussion about the concepts. This method reinforces learning by ensuring that the student understands where they went wrong and how to correct it, fostering a deeper comprehension of the material.

Engaging the student in this way allows for immediate clarification of any confusion, reinforces effective learning strategies, and boosts the student's confidence in their ability to tackle similar problems in the future. By addressing mistakes promptly, students are less likely to carry misconceptions into subsequent topics. This approach also provides an opportunity to reinforce critical thinking and problem-solving skills as the student learns to analyze their own work.

Choosing to leave the issue unresolved for the next session, starting a new topic without reconciliation, or merely noting the errors without any follow-up would not provide that critical reinforcement and could leave students confused or discouraged.
