Careless Errors Made by Sixth-Grade Children on Written Mathematical Tasks.
Clements, M. A.
Journal for Research in Mathematics Education, v13 n2 p136-44 Mar 1982

Results indicated that mathematically competent and confident children tend to make a greater proportion of errors than other children. (MP)
