Error Analysis is a strategy where students critically examine another piece of work for errors, incorrect steps, missing pieces, and more!
According to Robert Marzano, Error Analysis is at the top of higher level thinking skills. It requires students to create, analyze, and even prove their choice.
Cobb County Advanced Learning Strategies states the following about Error Analysis:
Analyze a proposed solution to a question or problem for errors and provide written details on how to fix the errors or explain what steps should’ve been taken to avoid the error. Proposed solutions to be supplied by instructor.
We assess mathematical problems for accuracy in problem solving.
We assess mathematical problems for acuracy in computation.

The purpose of this type of assignment is to have students critically examine another piece of work for errors or faulty support and then be critiqued on the accuracy of their assessment.

What is a distractor?
In a well written multiple choice test, distractors are the incorrect answer choices found purposely by predicting the most common errors a student will make.

One of my students said,
"I like figuring out how to find the wrong answers even more than finding the right answer."
That's pretty powerful!

Error Analysis can be used in non-Math classes also!
In a Science class, students could could find the error made on a food web.
