Minding the gaps: Algebra skills of university students
Page: 338
This study builds on existing research detailing calculus students’ algebraic errors (“gaps”) by connecting data from a standardized, proprietary placement instrument. Results suggest skills that are rarely versus commonly demonstrated prior to calculus. We also report on success and failure for students in the STEM-track Calculus 1 based on the different skills.
