Classroom Assessment Techniques
'Fault Finding and Fixing' Tasks

(Screen 4 of 4) 		Go to next page

Variations
The tasks included in this site can be downloaded and used without modification. If you choose to develop your own 'Fault finding and fixing' task, using information in newspapers, for example, you can follow the pattern used here.

For more formal investigations of student misconceptions, purpose-built assessments are available.


Analysis
Solutions are given for each of the tasks in the task set. Student performance can be judged against the answers provided.

Examination of performance across a range of tasks will identify students with weak conceptual knowledge in a number of areas of mathematics, and students with poor skills in faultfinding and fixing.
