Abstract: This is the only book available that assists future teachers with learning to identify typical error patterns, to receive feedback on their diagnosis, and to gain insight regarding why a child may have adopted an incorrect procedure.The book includes two major causes of error patterns, over-generalizing and over-specializing, are discussed in this new edition which examines error patterns within a problem-solving context. The book focuses on instructional strategies such as talking math, writing math, using graphic organizers, and portfolios are integrated with teaching computation.
