Slowing down students who rush through worksheets.


When I hand out a worksheet which I want to work through step by step  I often have to cope with the majority of students just working their way through it as quickly as possible.  I lose control of the class and when I want to consider a detail on the sheet it can be like herding cats to get everyone to focus on that aspect of the worksheet.  A solution that another teacher uses is to remove specific numbers from the worksheet and simply feed numbers to the students as the problems come up.  Now I just have to effectively structure the time around which I now have the students’ attention.
