0 for use on up to 5 quizzes (not tests) per quarter
0 good for 50% of points lost due to errors
0 retest option if get a perfect score on the EA
00 You must rewrite the original problem, and explain the error in your answer using sentences. Then solve the problem correctly, and explain each step in English sentences. If you do not do these steps - you will lose all points!
00 The error analysis must be stapled in front of the original quiz, and submitted within 2 schooldays upon its return to you.
