Persistent and Pernicious Errors in Algebraic Problem Solving.
TL;DR: Assessment of algebraic misconceptions using an in-depth error analysis on algebra students’ problem solving efforts at different points in the school year indicates there are certain types of errors that, when made during different levels of content are indicative of math achievement difficulties.

Concepts, Processes and Mathematics Instruction.
TL;DR: In mathematics education, the term "concept" repeatedly surfaces, often in contrast to the term'skill' as mentioned in this paper, and the teaching of mathematics as skills still predominates in our schools, partially because advocates of conceptual learning often assume the value of concepts without explicitly decending it by defining precisely what they are.
Investigating flexibility, reversibility, and multiple representations in a calculus environment
TL;DR: This paper investigated the development of flexibility and reversibility in a calculus environment that attends to linking multiple representations and found that two-way reversibility seemed to develop with relative ease for most students and often developed simultaneously with learning a forward process.

Developments in Mathematical Education: Nature, man and mathematics
TL;DR: The first recognition by a five-year-old of the world of size and scale was made by Christa as mentioned in this paper, who brought to the microscope a tiny bit of lint from the floor.
