Error Patterns in Computation: Using Error Patterns to Help Each Student Learn

by Robert Ashlock

Book Overview

This engaging and readable supplementary text teaches math methods students how to uncover the "wrong" patterns behind the computational errors children make. Through its unique approach, and the generous use of actual students' samples, future teachers not only read about error patterns, they actually encounter them...and learn to correct them. The tenth edition is organized so that readers have many experiences with misconceptions and error patterns (and thereby an understanding of the challenges teachers face) before they read information that helps them with assessment and instruction. The book emphasizes assessment and the role of diagnosis within assessment and allows instructors to teach computation in accordance with the NCTM Standards. Intended for undergraduate or graduate students in math methods courses.
