A really helpful book for Primary trainees explaining what errors occur, why they occur and what you can do to prevent them.

This book helps trainee teachers to understand where children 'go wrong' and helps them to tailor their teaching to address children's conceptual understanding and develop thinking.

This continues to be the lead text in understanding children's errors and misconceptions, stimulating productive thinking in how to adapt teaching and in particular considering how to use resources to support teaching and learning

This book is invaluable to help students understand the different types of errors and misconceptions that can occur in mathematics in order for them to complete their assignment.

As students became more confident after class experience they regularly used this book to explore and support ideas for planning and scaffolding.

I have suggested that my teaching placement students have a look at this to help them in classroom conversations. It is always good to open the debate between student/teacher/TA about misconceptions in maths and what better way to do it than with a book and the experience of others at the IWB-face. Good range of subject matter and clearly presented.
