| Summary |
"As students learn about mathematical operations and methods of computation, they may adopt erroneous procedures and misconceptions. This book was written to model how teachers can make thoughtful analyses of their students' work and in so doing, discover patterns in errors made." "This supplementary text guides teachers to consider reasons why students may have learned erroneous procedures in the first place and presents strategies for helping those students. Readers come away from the book with a clear vision of how to use student error patterns to gain more specific knowledge of students' understanding and to use that information to inform their future Instruction."--book jacket. |
