Home Nugget #17
Assigned on Thursday February 3
Due on Friday February 4
Error analysis shows common mistakes that happen when performing an operation or executing an algorithm. For example, when students multiply like bases, they often mistakenly add the exponents and multiply the bases. Thus, students might think that 3^5 x 3^7 = 9^12.
Tonight you will write an error analysis for eight topics/themes/operations/algorithms found in chapter 7.
For each topic you must include:
A. Describe the topic you have chosen
B. Identify the error students are likely to make
C. Provide the right method/pathway/perspective for problem-solving and any advice you can offer for choosing this pathway in the future
