Palmer, Don; And Others – 1994
This manual is a dictionary of some 150 errors made by students in their work in mathematics. A precise definition and examples are given for each of these errors and these, combined with a description of common causes of the error, form a background for diagnosis of student problems with arithmetic. Teaching strategies and ideas, each linked to a…

Peer reviewedMongeau, Marcel; Sankoff, David – Computers and the Humanities, 1990
Quantifies and confirms subjective impressions of similarity and differences in musical monophonic scores. Adapts concepts from sequence comparison theory and uses algorithms to define distances between any two melodies created by tone and rhythmic structure. Presents and applies a generalized algorithm for identifying locally similar portions in…

Palmer, Don; And Others – 1994
This book provides a comprehensive collection of 66 teaching strategies and ideas to help overcome problems with number, each linked to a specific kind of error described in the related manual. Most of these strategies are classroom-ready and easily implemented. Some are notes for the teacher to read and then plan activities accordingly, and many…

Hennessy, Sara; And Others – 1988
This paper describes an educational program developed on the basis that the use of blocks and other manipulatives can be useful both for initial teaching of exchange operations in arithmetic and for remediation of the faulty strategies which very commonly arise during acquisition of written calculation algorithms. This computer program is a…

Leeds Education Authority (England). Mathematics Curriculum Study Group. – 1981
This is one of a series of monographs developed by teachers in schools near Leeds, England. This volume focuses on recommended methods for teaching operations with whole numbers, fractions, decimals, and percentages. For children to attain confidence in dealing with arithmetical processes, it is considered important that they not be confused by…
