Peer reviewedWhitcraft, L. H. – Mathematics Teacher, 1980
This article, a reprint from 1930, offers an interesting perspective on the importance of diagnostic and prescriptive teaching as well as the role of drill and the use of objectives in mathematics. (Author/MK)

Peer reviewedShaw, Robert A.; Pelosi, Philip A. – Arithmetic Teacher, 1983
Examples of four interviews are presented to serve as sample evidence in support of more comprehensive diagnostic procedures in assessing reliably and validly the weaknessess and strengths of learners. The search for computational errors is seen to go beyond standard paper and pencil tests. (Author/MP)

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…

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…

Lowenthal, Barbara – Academic Therapy, 1987
The clinical interview can be a useful individualized assessment and remedial tool for students with difficulties in arithmetic. To use it effectively, the examiner must establish rapport with the student, discover his metacognitive strategies, and determine the student's optimum ability level. (JDD)

Peer reviewedWoodward, John; Howard, Lisa – Exceptional Children, 1994
TORUS, a prototype technology-based educational diagnostic program, is described. The usefulness of TORUS to identify and remediate the mathematics misconceptions of students with learning disabilities is reported. Results suggest the need for greater emphasis on conceptual understanding in mathematics instruction. (Author/DB)

Diagnoses of students' performance on procedural mathematical tasks need to display a certain level of stability and robustness if they are to be used as the basis for remediation, particularly with computer-delivered instruction. The purpose of this study was to compare two diagnostic approaches for describing students' (n=231) errors in algebra…
