Pla-Castells, Marta; Melchor, Carmen; Chaparro, Gisela – Education Sciences, 2021
This work describes how the combination of the mistakes committed by a group of pre-service teachers when solving a Fermi problem, with the representation of the temporal analysis of their resolutions, can offer more in-depth information about their conceptual misconceptions regarding mathematical and modelling concepts. The combined…

Fernandez, Ricardo Lopez; Garcia, Ana B. Sanchez – Educational Research and Reviews, 2008
The study of errors made in subtraction is a research subject approached from different theoretical premises that affect different components of the algorithmic process as triggers of their generation. In the following research an attempt has been made to investigate the typology and nature of errors which occur in subtractions and their evolution…
