Product Description
Review
Children's Errors in Mathematics is a very neat idea. It deals with the most common misconceptions in primary-age children and shows how they can be dealt with. The authors have hit on a refreshing idea: not how children learn, but how they learn the wrong things. The book starts with a fascinating overview of the literature on how children learn maths - and conversely, how easily they often construct their own misplaced knowledge and understanding. As the book so helpfully reminds us, 'we should not see mathematics as something taught, but rather something that is learnt'. The book ranges through common false constructs. There are scores of examples, such as why some children may think that one object out of four makes up a third of the total. The authors talk about why common errors are made and what can be done to pre-empt them in one's lesson planning. This is a highly-readable and useful book that could be of equal value to teachers and parents. In working out why things aren't, we often make clear the reasons why things are. --The Times Educational Supplement, 23rd September 2005
