Intuitively Misconceived Solutions to Problems.

Peer reviewed

Avital, Shmuel; Barbeau, Edward J. – For the Learning of Mathematics, 1991

Presents 13 examples in which the intuitive approach to solve the problem is often misleading. Presents analysis of these problems for five different sources of misleading intuitive generators: lack of analysis, unbalanced perception, improper analogy, improper generalization, and misuse of symmetry.
