Description

This FREE sample is from my Error Analysis Math Problems for 5th Grade and is the perfect addition to your math centers. Designed for 5th grade in mind, this will require students to think critically and find the mistake in the problem. Then students must analyze and explain in depth why the student made the mistake.

In this resource the questions are broken down to help support students with analyzing the problem and really understanding the mistake as well as the misunderstanding the student has.

I give my students 2 of these every week on the same skill as part of their math centers
to see if they have exceeded the standard.

My students love these - I use them on Fridays for "fix it Friday." It helps with math conversations and understanding how to find their own errors.
