Third and Fifth Graders' Use of Multiple Standards of Evaluation to Detect Errors in Word Problems.
Van Haneghan, James P.
Journal of Educational Psychology, v82 n2 p352-58 Jun 1990
Detection of calculation errors, operation errors, and unanswerable problems was studied for 78 third graders and 77 fifth graders. The relationship between mathematics achievement and error detection was also examined. Older children and high achievers detected more errors than did younger students and low achievers. (SLD)
