Fractions Worksheet Analysis
Question-level error analysis for the papers reviewed so far: what went wrong and what to reteach.
Patterns
Common misconceptions across the analysed papers
Scale factor found, not applied
Students spot ×2 or ×5 between the denominators, then write that number as the answer instead of multiplying the numerator by it.
"Like fractions" misread
Some add or subtract the fractions instead of rewriting both with the same denominator.
Same-numerator comparisons flipped
Bigger denominator read as the bigger fraction. Eighths are bigger than ninths.
Word-problem answer lines
Answer lines copy the question wording instead of the fraction. Check reading before the maths.
