초록

In mathematical problem solving, students may make various errors. In order to draw useful lessons from the errors, and then correct them, we surveyed 24 eighth-grade students’ performances in geometrical problem solving according to Casey’s hierarchy of errors. It was found that:1. Students’ effect can lead to errors at the stage of “comprehension”, “strategy selection”, and “skills manipulation”; and 2. Students’ geometric schemas also influenced their strategy selection”.

Abstract

In mathematical problem solving, students may make various errors.

Students’ geometric schemas also influenced their strategy selection”.
