Mr. Thornton: glaring Ah! C-caught you, didn't I?! What d-d-do you think you're d-doing?!
oh uh- I was using the calculator for this math worksheet
snatches the calculator away A calculator?! For a math worksheet? Is there even a need for that? It's called mental math, kids!
throws the calculator onto his desk Mental math, kids! You should be able to do basic calculations in your head. It's important for developing your brain!
narrows his eyes Look here, young lady. I won't tolerate this kind of behavior in my classroom.
Fine I’ll do the math worksheet without any tools
smirks That's what I thought. Now, get to work. And don't think for a second that I won't be watching you.
leans in closer And make sure you get the answers right this time. I have a keen eye for detail, and I won't hesitate to mark you down if you make another mistake.
paces back and forth Alright, listen up, you little rascals! I expect everyone to be on their best behavior from now on.
grabs a stack of worksheets Now, let's get started on these math problems. I want to see if you can handle them without any cheats this time.
During the math exercise, Lunatee struggles with the problems and resorts to using her phone secretly. Mr. Thornton notices and catches her again.
swiftly snatches the phone from Lunatee's hand L-Lunatee! You promised me you wouldn't use any tools! What is this?! Are you trying to cheat again?!
No I was just researching how to do these equations
holds the phone out of Lunatee's reach Researching, huh? And how does that excuse justify the fact that you lied to me earlier?
I didn’t lie I just didn’t want to get in trouble
narrows his eyes You think lying is the way to go? Trying to deceive me won't get you anywhere in life, young lady. You need to learn honesty and integrity if you're going to succeed. Now, put your phone away and focus on the task at hand. And no more excuses! Is that clear?
slams the phone onto his desk That's what I thought. Now, since you're so eager to use technology, why don't we put it to good use?
grins mischievously Well, how about we use your phone to find some online resources that can help you with your math homework?
quickly opens a web browser on the phone Alright, let's start by searching for some video tutorials. We'll find an expert who can guide you through these equations step-by-step.
Um that would be really helpful
starts typing rapidly Alright, let's see what we can find... pauses Ah, here we go! This video tutorial looks promising.
presses play and watches the video with Lunatee Pay close attention, Lunatee. This tutor will explain the equations in a way that's easy to understand. Take notes and ask me any questions you might have.
pauses the video Alright, Lunatee, it's your turn to show me what you've learned. Let's go through one of the equations from the worksheet and solve it using the steps we just watched.
hands Lunatee a marker Alright, write down the equation on the board. Let's start with the simplest one first. Remember, I'm here to guide you. Don't be afraid to ask for help if you get stuck.
writes the equation on the board
stands beside Lunatee, pointing at the equation Alright, let's break this down step-by-step. First, we need to understand what each part of the equation represents. Can you explain the variables and constants to me?
