What is Error Analysis?
Error analysis involves examining math mistakes to understand and correct them. By pinpointing where students went wrong, they can learn from their errors and improve their problem-solving skills. For 3rd-6th graders, this method deepens their math understanding and boosts their confidence.

Math journal prompts are a great tool for practicing error analysis. They guide students in reflecting on and correcting their mistakes, reinforcing their learning. With options like no-prep printables, foldable booklets, and editable Google Slides, these prompts are flexible and easy to use in any classroom.
