SummaryTable of Contents
As your students learn about mathematical operations and methods of computation, they may adopt erroneous procedures and misconceptions, despite your best efforts. This engaging book was written to model how you, the teacher, can make thoughtful analyses of your student's work, and in doing so, discover patterns in the errors they make. The text considers reasons why students may have learned erroneous procedures and presents strategies for helping those students. You will come away from the reading with a clear vision of how you can use student error patterns to gain more specific knowledge of their strengths on which to base your future instruction.
