Jiang, Matthew J.; Cooper, Jennifer L.; Alibali, Martha W. – North American Chapter of the International Group for the Psychology of Mathematics Education, 2013
Perceptual characteristics of mathematical equations may influence solvers' problem solving. For example, in a study of equations involving addition and multiplication, Landy and Goldstone (2010) showed that participants tended to perform narrowly spaced operations first, suggesting that spacing affects how symbols are grouped for problem solving.…

Babbitt, Beatrice C. – 1990
Although many common problem-solving errors within the realm of school mathematics have been previously identified, a compilation of such errors is not readily available within learning disabilities textbooks, mathematics education texts, or teacher's manuals for school mathematics texts. Using data on error frequencies drawn from both the Fourth…
