Careless Errors Made by Sixth-Grade Children on Written Mathematical Tasks.

Clements, M. A.

Journal for Research in Mathematics Education, v13 n2 p136-44 Mar 1982

An operational definition of careless errors was provided and used in an investigation of 50 children attending an international primary school in Lae, Papua New Guinea. Results indicated that mathematically competent and confident children tend to make a greater proportion of errors than other children. (MP)
