Grimes, Lynn – Teaching Exceptional Children, 1981
The article presents techniques for error analysis and correction for use with handicapped children. Considered are error and trend analysis, corrective feedback, graduated guidance hierarchy, errors as part of the learning process, the teacher's verbal correction, and oral reading correction procedurs. (DB)

Hall, Robert J. – Academic Therapy, 1984
The author analyzes the problem-solving nature of spelling, notes its cognitive components, and reviews research findings relevant to learning disabled students. He emphasizes the need to understand spelling developmentally and chart-succeeding stages. (CL)

Hasselbring, Ted S.; Owens, Sheryl D. – Computers, Reading and Language Arts, 1983
Presents a self-administered computer spelling test that provides a detailed analysis of a student's spelling errors. (Available from: Modern Learning Publishers, Inc., 6517 Liggett, Oakland, CA 94611, $14.) (AEA)
Descriptors: Computer Programs, Diagnostic Tests, Error Patterns, Microcomputers
Campbell, James – Use of English, 1982
Describes a diagnostic and remedial spelling approach used with high school students. (HOD)
Descriptors: Diagnostic Teaching, Error Patterns, Remedial Instruction, Secondary Education

Mason, Margie – Arithmetic Teacher, 1985
Using Logo to work through a maze is described. Suggested programs to help students learn to debug programs are also included, along with the story of the original "computer bug." (MNS)
Descriptors: Computer Software, Elementary Education, Elementary School Mathematics, Error Patterns

O'Neill, M. J. – Australian Mathematics Teacher, 1985
Computation errors that may occur by expanded use of calculators are discussed. Potential errors with five exact arithmetic examples are described as they are translated into approximate processes. (MNS)
Descriptors: Algebra, Calculators, Computation, Error Patterns

Ronau, Robert N. – Mathematics Teacher, 1986
Several examples of mathematical diagnosis using microcomputer software are presented, with possible future considerations suggested. Three limitations of the software are discussed. (MNS)

Gallian, Joseph A. – College Mathematics Journal, 1991
Discussed are the mathematical methods for detecting a variety of common error patterns within the bar-coded identification numbers utilized in conjunction with scanning devices. Schemes for the use of check digits are examined that ensure conditions for detecting errors of specific types, including single digit error, transposition error, twin…

Marzano, Robert J. – Journal of Reading, 1982
Discusses two types of student writing problems: error characteristics (spelling, pronoun usage, subject-verb agreement, run-on sentences, and capitalization) and nonerror characteristics (density of ideas, variety of referents, and variety of expression). Suggests ways to diagnose and correct them. (HTH)

Martinez, Joseph G. R. – Mathematics Teacher, 1988
An approach to teaching factors and terms is offered that builds directly on students' knowledge of arithmetic. Errors arising from factor and term confusions are noted, followed by the pedagogical strategy of exploration, invention, and discovery. (MNS)

Rees, Jocelyn Marie; Coyle, Linda M. – 1986
A computer program is given which will generate a list of descriptions of the items to which a student has responded incorrectly on the Keymath Diagnostic Arithmetic Test. It is designed for the TRS-80, Model III, with two disk drives. The documentation lists all required materials, describes the six options and how to use them, indicates the…

Klauer, Elizabeth; Rule, Ann – 1985
Structuring the algebra course to provide a link between a student's existing knowledge and the new topic being presented is discussed. Developing relationships among topics is suggested through examples describing a mathematical problem and effective teaching approaches. Stress is placed on teachers reflecting on mistakes pupils are likely to…

Barclay, Tim – Classroom Computer Learning, 1987
The use of the microcomputer in an interactive graphics mode offers exciting possibilities for mathematics and science education. Errors made with graphs are used to introduce ideas of what should be taught. Both understanding equations and graphing utilities are stressed. (MNS)
Descriptors: Computer Graphics, Computer Software, Equations (Mathematics), Error Patterns

Movshovitz-Hadar, Nitsa; And Others – Mathematics Teacher, 1987
A lesson in editing was learned from a study of errors made on a national mathematics test in Israel. Analysis indicated that the errors were often caused by careless printing of the test, misleading figures, poor designations, or ambiguous phrasing. (MNS)
