Analyzing and Modeling Arithmetic Errors.

Blando, John A.; And Others

Journal for Research in Mathematics Education, v20 n3 p301-08 May 1989

Seventh-grade students were tested to uncover arithmetic errors. Answers and intermediate steps were analyzed and models to represent students' behavior were developed. Certain errors were common across students. Others were tied to the format of the test item. Some superficial understandings of mathematical concepts were exposed. (Author/DC)
