Children'S Mathematics 4-15: Learning From Errors And Misconceptions
Author: Ryan, Julie
language: en
Publisher: McGraw-Hill Education (UK)
Release Date: 2007-04-01
This work uses data from the authors' own research on children's performance, errors and misconceptions across the mathematics curriculum. It develops concepts for teachers to use in organising their understanding and knowledge of children's mathematics, and concludes with theoretical accounts of learning and teaching.
Common Mistakes In Maths
Most of us have experienced the frustration of studying really hard for a math test, only to lose valuable points because of a silly mistake! Whether you plugged in the wrong number, misread the question, or simply made a bubbling mistake on your Scantron, minor errors can cost you big on a test. They can be the difference between an A or a B on a school exam, a 690 or a 750 on the SAT, or acceptance or rejection on an admission test. That's why it's important to stop silly mistakes in their tracks. This book is an effort to guide students, teachers, and parents to take necessary measures to improve upon the habit of committing silly mistakes by students. The various techniques mentioned in this book if practiced or taught to students in the correct manner will help them reducing the quantum of stupid mistakes to a minimal and will further improve their confidence. The book also includes a collection of 100 most common silly mistakes committed by students in Arithmetic, Algebra, Trigonometry, Calculus and other branches of Mathematics across the globe in the age group of 10 to 18 years. After going through the book, students will also be able to learn about some of their misconceptions in Mathematics like: 0 is even or odd? Why 0/0 is not 1? 0 is prime or composite? Volume and Capacity of a container are not same, Perimeter and Circumference of a 2-D figure are not same, Pi is 22/7; still, it is irrational, Why x to the power 0 is 1? Why factorial 0 is 1? What are the factors and multiples of 0? All real numbers are polynomials.
Children's Errors in Mathematics
This practical guide to children’s common errors and misconceptions in mathematics is a popular planning tool for primary trainees. It supports a deeper understanding of the difficulties encountered in mathematical development. This third edition has been updated to link to the new National Curriculum. New for this edition is a chapter on addressing errors misconceptions which explores how errors can best be identified and countered. The text examines misconceptions individually and in each case provides a description of the error alongside an explanation of why the error happens. The text also considers the role of the teacher in understanding and addressing children’s common mathematical misconceptions.
