━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ ★ THE FIND-FIX-REFLECT METHOD ★ ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
Every task follows a three-step routine designed to move students beyond simply saying, "That's wrong."
**1. FIND** — Identify the exact step where the fictional student made the error.
**2. FIX** — Rework the problem correctly and show the mathematical steps.
**3. REFLECT** — Explain in their own words why the original mistake happened and how to avoid it.
This structure gives students practice with mathematical reasoning, explanation, and error analysis—not just answer-getting.
