True, because errors reflect the thinking of child
false, because mathematics is exact
true, because errors provide feedback about the marks they obtained
false, because errors occur due to carelessness

he has dysgraphia
he lacks in analytical ability
he is weak in geometrical concepts
his teacher must have always drawn the triangle in this particular way

A very common error observed in addition of linear expression is 5y + 3 = 8y
This type of error is termed as
clerical error
conceptual error
procedural error
careless error
Anil is able to answer all questions orally but commits mistakes while writing the solutions of problems. The best remedial strategy to remove errors in his writing is
giving him an assignment of 10 problems everyday
calling him out to solve a problem on the blackboard
providing him with a worksheet with partially solved problems to complete the missing gaps
giving him practice test after school hours, continuously for one month
Which evaluation involves gathering information about the students errors, reasons for those errors, depth of conceptual understanding, effective means of intervention ?
