She asked students the following questions as they attempted problems.1. Please read the question to me. If you don't know a word, leave it out.2. Tell me what the question is asking you to do.3. Tell me how you are going to find the answer.4. Show me what to do to get the answer. "Talk aloud" as you do it, so that I can understand how you are thinking.5. Now, write down your answer to the question.These five questions can be used to determine why students make mistakes with written mathematics questions.A student wishing to solve a written mathematics problem typically has to work through five basic steps:1.Reading the problemReading2. Comprehending what is readComprehension3. Carrying out a transformation from the words of the problem to the

as a teacher Although I am now engaged in making my way newman's prompts bookmark as an artist, an oil painter, my career in teaching remains immensely important to me. I am going to newman's prompts for kids tell a story about my teaching career because teaching kids is a narrative with one main plot but many themes and chapters. My motivation to be a teacher and the http://www.curriculumsupport.education.nsw.gov.au/primary/mathematics/numeracy/newman/ plot that runs through my career was, and still is, to make learning just that little bit easier and if possible just that little bit more enjoyable. The greatest skill a teacher can learn is that it is okay to laugh, to smile, to enjoy learning with a child. And the second greatest skill is to see the learning through the eyes http://annenewman.com.au/content/biography-anne-newman-teacher of the child and not those of an adult who has forgotten what it was like not to understand, not to know how to do something. My greatest public contribution to teaching was to discover through some pretty hefty research that a large percentage of children fail in mathematics because they can't read nor understand the wording of the tasks they are given to solve by mathematics teachers. My categorisation of errors children make in mathematics has come to have considerable interest around the world and is commonly referred to as the Newman Error Analysis. I published my work on this around 1977, over 30 years ago, and I am still constantly amazed at how something so simple has remained so popular with mathematics educators. What I hope people learn from my work is that the answer to why a child isn't achieving the expected results can often be something quite obvious as not being able to read or understand. The way to help the child is of course far more complex. In endeavouring to follow my belief that teachers must te
