This article uses the concurrent mixed methods design to explore the errors made by 171 Grade Seven learners in algebraic problem-solving within the Assin Central Municipality in Ghana. The participants were categorized into low-achieving and high-achieving groups based on their performance in a pretest, to help provide a detailed examination of…

Schumacher, Robin F.; Malone, Amelia S. – Elementary School Journal, 2017
The goal of this study was to describe fraction-calculation errors among fourth-grade students and to determine whether error patterns differed as a function of problem type (addition vs. subtraction; like vs. unlike denominators), orientation (horizontal vs. vertical), or mathematics-achievement status (low-, average-, or high-achieving). We…

Bautista, Debbie; Mitchelmore, Michael; Mulligan, Joanne – Educational Psychology, 2009
Young Filipino children are expected to solve mathematical word problems in English, which is not their mother tongue. Because of this, it is often assumed that Filipino children have difficulties in solving problems because they cannot read or comprehend what they have read. This study tested this assumption by determining whether presenting word…

Peer reviewedZehavi, Nurit; And Others – Journal for Research in Mathematics Education, 1988
Assignment projects for high-achieving ninth graders were developed, and a comparative evaluation study indicated that they were effective. It bacame clear that teachers needed more practical support, so a diagnostic study was undertaken, leading to the establishment of a link between a categorization of student difficulties and a hierarchy of…
