Avoiding Common Errors

Stafford Burndred

Ideal for homework and revision

Many errors in Mathematics occur again and again. It is very helpful to know what these errors are and provide pupils with practice questions to help avoid them. Examiners are aware of the questions which commonly cause pupils to make errors, and these questions occur frequently.

Every error avoided is a mark scored

Once the errors have been highlighted, pupils are much less likely to repeat them in the future. These packs offer examples of and explanations for many common errors, and worksheets to allow pupils to practise avoiding a particular error.

For both KS3 and GCSE

Although aimed principally at KS3, the packs are also very helpful to GCSE students.
