Direct linkHopkins, Sarah; Bayliss, Donna – Mathematical Thinking and Learning: An International Journal, 2017
In this research, we examined how 200 students in seventh grade (around 12 years old) solved simple addition problems. A cluster approach revealed that less than half of the cohort displayed proficiency with simple addition: 35% predominantly used min-counting and were accurate, and 16% frequently made min-counting errors. Students who frequently…

This paper examines the factors that hinder students' success in working with and understanding the mathematics of quadratic equations using a case study analysis of student error patterns. Twenty-five Year 11 students were administered a written test to examine their understanding of concepts and procedures associated with this topic. The…

On the Australian Mathematics Competition, boys responded correctly to more questions than did girls, but this difference came largely from a handful of questions. Responses to questions where sex differences occurred are discussed. (MNS)

Richardson, Arthur; O'Brien, Peter – 1987
The study was undertaken to investigate the errors made by high and low achievers in a mathematics test administered to students in their second year of high school. The focus of the study was to determine whether any common error types existed within or between the two groups or whether there were error strategies which differed between the two…

O'Brien, Peter; Richardson, Arthur – 1987
This report: (1) describes the mathematics test given to Year 8 students in the Mt. Druitt Longitudinal Study in 1986; (2) describes and discusses the results; (3) analyzes errors made by the students; and (4) suggests some possible interventions to address the errors made by students. The study dates from 1975 when funds were obtained to provide…
