Strategies for Teaching Fractions: Using Error Analysis for Intervention and Assessment

Autor David B. Spangler
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 10 oct 2011
Analyzing student work for error patterns (such as on a diagnostic test) and then providing timely, specific, and meaningful intervention will decrease the probability that the errors will be repeated in the future. Taking into account academic research on how students learn, Spangler provides a practical intervention model and specific hands-on materials for teachers to use when working with the many students who struggle with fractions. The step-by-step intervention strategies illustrated in this book will result in improved student performance and improved student dispositions towards mathematics. It will contain the following elements:Reproducibles for fully functional diagnostic testsPractice pages for exercises keyed to the diagnostic tests and error patterns, and pages to practice alternative algorithms and estimationTeacher resources for hands-on activities, game sheets and pieces, and more

Recenzii

"This book is an exceptional reference resource that demonstrates the critical importance of error analysis. Students have complex thinking patterns, and error analysis provides a systematic method for exposing the meaning behind students’ mathematical errors. Spangler does an exceptional job of explaining error types and providing instructional strategies to target students’ errors and misconceptions."
“This text would be most useful as part of professional in-service to improve math scores. The information is research based and follows RTI, scaffolding, and differentiation of instruction. It promotes the use of academic language and provides opportunities for the students to transfer their learning. The activities promote active engagement and involvement."
"If we are truly to help students understand and make sense of working with fractions, then we must find out where their weaknesses are. This book is filled with specific examples to help all teachers to work with students who are struggling with fraction concepts. After reading this book, teachers will feel confident in their abilities to teach fractions so students WILL understand."

 

"This is the most complete resource I have ever used for the teaching of fractions. David Spangler does an excellent job of clearly explaining the research and utilizing it to produce activities, practice exercises, diagnostics tests, error pattern explanations and much more."

“This text provides a great depth of coverage, an in-depth discussion of the types of errors students may make, and great ideas for rectifying their misunderstanding. I think this could become the ONLY book I’d need on this subject.”

Descriere

Any way you slice it, fractions are foundational
Many students struggle with fractions and must understand them before learning higher-level math. Veteran educator David B. Spangler describes powerful diagnostic methods for error analysis that pinpoint specific student misconceptions and supplies specific intervention strategies and activities for each error pattern. Aligned with NCTM and Common Core State Standards, the research-based, targeted interventions for each error pattern promoted teaching for conceptual understanding. Practical materials include:
  • Reproducibles for diagnostic tests
  • Practice pages for exercises keyed to the diagnostic tests and error patterns
  • Teacher resources for hands-on activities, game sheets and pieces, and more
