About this title

Synopsis

This practical guide to children’s common errors and misconceptions in mathematics is a popular planning tool for primary trainees.  It supports a deeper understanding of the difficulties encountered in mathematical development. This third edition has been updated to link to the new National Curriculum. New for this edition is a chapter on addressing errors  misconceptions which explores how errors can best be identified and countered. The text examines misconceptions individually and in each case provides a description of the error alongside an explanation of why the error happens.
