Remember, you can click on the images to show them at full size.These revisions are very well done. They really show an understanding of what was done incorrectly, and the new work shows that the concepts in question are, indeed, now understood.
I especially liked the explanation in the "money" problem that sated that the student in question "Didn't add back the 3 (cents) that I rounded to." This shows a pretty complete understanding of the error that was made. I can also accept the "blonde moment" explanation for multiplying by 7 instead of 6, as that is just a lapse in concentration, and it's funny!
I hope this shows that really revising problems is a bunch of work, and that it is not something to rely on as a way to overcome a lack of participation in the class or at home. Rather, revisions are a way to refocus on a few concepts or errors that were not quite clear at test time.

Wow, they did a great job!
A great job was done in detailing not only the correct answer but in also recognizing where was the 'wrong turn' taken. Doing a revision is a bunch work both on the student and the teacher. If the concept is grasped, then I think it is well worth it especially when the skill or content is being build upon. ;-)
