Calculation Error Reflection
Calculation Error Reflection During class, we looked at many examples of students making common errors in mathematics. I think this was an important thing to do, because it is something each one of us will see in the classroom. Errors are common, but they are something that can be learned from. Students tend to make common errors. It is important that teachers are aware of what these errors are and are able to recognize them in student work. If teachers are aware of common errors, they may help students avoid making these through their instruction. Obviously we did not have time to cover all common errors made by students in class, but the ones we did cover gave me a good idea of why we need to be aware of these errors. Many of the errors we covered were related to the operations (addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division). Some of the errors we looked at were easy to recognize and others took much more time to recognize. Some students struggled with the concept...
