Which remark is best formative feedback for a pupil stuck on equations?
AYour answer is wrong; redo it all.
BAsk the topper for the answers.
CCopy the solved example fully.
DYou used substitution; try elimination.
Answer & Solution
Correct answer: D. You used substitution; try elimination.
1. Good formative feedback focuses on the detail of the work and points to a next step.
2. Asking the pupil to try elimination after substitution builds on what the pupil did.
3. Saying it is wrong, copying, or asking the topper gives no guidance on thinking.
