Abstract

The immediate purpose of the study were: (a) to determine how closely the grade equivalents of two-hundred and sixty pupils follow the normal curve ; (b) to plot the results of the one-step problems on a graph with an analytic explanation of the graph ; (c) to place the results of the two-step problems on a graph with an analytic explanation of the graph; to determine what types of error were most prevalent; to discover apparent causes of error ; (d) to make suggestions helpful to teachers for improving pupil achievement.
