Throughout math methods we did the errors in the class. At first I did not really understand these, however when we started going over them I really seemed to enjoy them. It was really interesting to be able to see examples of errors that students make in math. I liked being able to figure out what the students were doing wrong in the problems. A lot of times the students would only be doing one simple thing wrong and everything else right. It is important to pin point these problems so that you are able to help your students fix them.
By doing the errors I learned that when going over students math problems when I am a teacher I should not only just mark the answers wrong. I should look for what the student is doing wrong. Usually when a student is continually get a certain type of problem wrong they are making the same errors in each of the problems. By figuring out what the student is doing wrong I will be able to help them fix it so they will not make that same error in the future.
