Describe three common types of errors when teaching multi-digit addition

What will be an ideal response?


Students may make fact errors, component-skill errors, and/or strategy errors when solving multi-digit addition problems. Fact errors cause most errors when solving multi-digit addition problems and may or may not be easy to identify. In order to determine the specific cause of the errors, the teacher should look for a pattern of errors. Consistently missing the same facts in various problems indicates a fact error. Component-skill errors often involve renaming and may also involve not attending to the sign in the problem. A strategy error indicates a fundamental misunderstanding of the entire strategy.
