Many studies have revealed that fraction is a complicated mathematics topic for students. Students struggle to solve problems including comparison and addition of fractions correctly. However, some students often make some common mistakes in solving the mathematics problems. There are three types of errors in solving mathematics problems, which are factual error, procedural error, and computational error. This study was aimed at investigating various mistakes by students in problems related to fractions. A set of validated problems about comparing and adding fractions was assigned to third grade students of SD N Laboratorium Unesa Surabaya. The results indicated that some students were not aware on how to compare and add fractions. Most of these students employed incorrect strategies categorized as procedural and conceptual errors.

Geometrical Knowledge

The knowledge on geometry are of great importance for the understanding of reality. Spatial notion and geometrical concepts, graphical skills and habits are an important part of the study of geometrical knowledge in elementary school as propedeutics of the system course on geometry in the next school levels. In the recent years, education in Bulgaria follows the trends imposed by the European Union related to the acquiring of some basic key competencies. They promote to the improvement of knowledge, skills, abilities and attitudes of students and their more successful social development. From the school year 2016/2017, the education in the Bulgarian schools is in accordance with the new Law on pre-school and school education. Under this law, students are teached under new curriculum and teaching kits for the corresponding class. According to the new curriculum, the general education of the students of I-IV grade, covers basic groups of key competencies. Here, much more attention is paid also to the results of international researches on the students’ performance in mathematics. Primary school students participate in international competitions and Olympiads, which lead to the need of working on more mathematical problems with geometric content of the relevant specific types. This allows to study and use author’s various mathematical problems for teaching geometry. Their purpose is to contribute to the expansion of space notions of the students, to develop their thinking and imagination. This article is dedicated to the application of author’s various mathematical problems and exercises for teaching students from the third grade through which the geometrical knowledge and skills of the students develop and build. The solving of the mathematical problems is realized on a rich visual-practical basis, providing conditions for inclusion of the students in various activities. The proposed various mathematical problems are developed by themes including fully geometric problems and exercises for teaching mathematics to third grade students. Teaching by using the various mathematical problems was held with 149 students from third grade, from five schools - three in Sofia and two in smaller towns, in the school year 2016/2017.

Study Results

Children with stronger self-regulation skills generally demonstrate greater overall success in school both academically and socially. However, there are few valid and reliable measures of self-regulation in middle elementary school. Such a measure could help identify whether a child is truly having difficulties. Thus, the Remembering Rules and Regulation Picture Task (RRRP) was developed. The aim of this study was to develop scoring systems for the RRRP and then to examine the associations between RRRP and independent measures of self-regulation and academic achievement in mathematics and reading. Children ( N = 282) from 34 third-grade classrooms in Florida participated in this study. Results revealed that the RRRP captured three constructs: working memory, attentional flexibility, and inhibitory control. Hierarchical linear modeling (HLM) demonstrated that the RRRP was significantly and positively associated with other measures of self-regulation. The RRRP was significantly and positively associated with mathematics and reading as well. The RRRP appears to be a promising measure of children’s self-regulation skills.

Poor literacy rates contribute to low school performance for children across America. In particular, low-income schools continue to struggle with declining literacy rates. Issues with literacy are often attributed to lack of reading comprehension. This study tested the effects of choice on reading comprehension in second- and third-grade students at a high-income school and a low-income school. Students were observed while reading silently and aloud to see if either method affected reading comprehension. Data were collected from 32 students before, during, and after reading to determine whether students’ comprehension levels were higher when given opportunities to choose their own books or when they read assigned books. Trials were performed while students read silently and then aloud. Results indicated that students had higher comprehension levels both when they could choose their own books and when they read silently.
