My journey today: Where can I find a list of misconceptions and matching diagnostic questions for multiplication and division errors?
It seems that to teach in a way that avoid pupils creating any misconceptions … is not possible, and that we have to accept that pupils will make some generalisations that are not correct and many of these misconceptions will remain hidden unless the teacher makes specific efforts to uncover them. - (Askew, M and Wiliam, D 1995)
Note: If you Google search for math misconceptions, you'll see Askew and William repeatedly!)
The following are the BEST of found resources:
- Misconceptions with Key Objectives - assessment questions and activity suggestions
- Explanations of Misconceptions with Performance/Diagnostic Tasks
- This table matched my search exactly! Tables of Assessment Questions aligned with Misconceptions; Tasks
- Which led me to - Supporting Children with Gaps in Their Mathematical Understanding! I downloaded the zip file and when opened, found specific lessons with scripted questions for each misconception or error. Also, tracking charts and program instructions. See the sample below. Several activities are included for each error.
