In our third issue of the 2009 newsletter we have chosen to talk about how learners work with problems based on space, shape and measurement. We will focus on solving problems in which learners have to work with what they know about areas and perimeters of basic shapes to calculate areas and perimeters of the complex shapes.

- Abstract:

In this second part of Volume 2 we focus on the meaning of the word 'misconceptions'and compare it to the general understanding of the meaning of 'errors' and 'mistakes'. These different words have different concepts associated with them. We tend to use the word 'misconception' indiscriminately when talking to colleagues, and more often than not, we are talking about learner errors or mistakes rather than misconceptions.
