Question 1

How should diagnostic interviews be conducted as part of error pattern analysis?

Accepted Answer

A) after giving a math test 
B) in a structured interview format 
C) without time constraints C

Question 2

Provide students with a sample of a child's math work and have them use the Error Analysis Chart to identify the errors and analyze the pattern of errors.Have the students conduct the analysis by marking each error in the appropriate category on the chart and counting the number of errors in each category.Compare the results and discuss possible remediation strategies.

Accepted Answer

To provide students with a sample of a child's math work, you can use a worksheet or a set of problems that the child has completed. The errors on the worksheet should cover a range of mathematical concepts such as addition, subtraction, multiplication, division, fractions, and decimals.

Once the students have the sample of the child's math work, they can use the Error Analysis Chart to identify the errors and analyze the pattern of errors. The Error Analysis Chart typically includes categories such as computational errors, conceptual errors, procedural errors, and careless mistakes.

Students can conduct the analysis by marking each error in the appropriate category on the chart and counting the number of errors in each category. This will help them identify which types of errors the child is making most frequently and the patterns that may be emerging.

After completing the analysis, students can compare the results and discuss possible remediation strategies. For example, if the child is making a lot of computational errors, they may need more practice with basic arithmetic skills. If the child is making conceptual errors, they may need more instruction on understanding mathematical concepts. If the child is making procedural errors, they may need more practice with following mathematical procedures. And if the child is making careless mistakes, they may need strategies for double-checking their work.

Overall, this activity will help students understand the types of errors that children commonly make in math and how to develop targeted remediation strategies to address those errors.
