Description:

Reflecting many of the concerns of NCTMs Principles and Standards for School Mathematics, the ninth edition of Error Patterns in Computation is the only book available that assists teachers with identifying typical error patterns, receiving feedback on their diagnosis, and gaining insight regarding why a child may have adopted an incorrect procedure.nbsp;Two major causes of error patterns - over-generalizing and over-specializing - are discussed. Simple and well organized, this book explains common errors students make in computation in every math operation and with whole numbers, rational numbers, geometry and algebra.nbsp;This book is an ideal resource for teachers of mathematics in…

Robert Ashlockbegan his career in 1957 as a fourth and fifth grade teacher with a bachelorrsquo;s degree in elementary education. He later received a masterrsquo;s degree in elementary school administration from Butler University and a doctorate in elementary education from Indiana University. He became a graduate assistant and teaching associate at Indiana University in 1964 and went on to teach at several institutions including the University of Maryland, Reformed Theological Seminary, Belhaven College, and finally, Covenant College in Lookout Mountain, Georgia.nbsp; Ashlock came to Covenant in 1988 to fill the need for a specialist in elementary education who could also teach on the…
