What are the best practices for how algebra teachers/tutors identify
where students are having difficulty and how they remediate?

Hi cits,

Since advanced mathematics is, and always has been, a struggle for me
I was interested in finding out where MY teachers went wrong. (Sorry,
Miss Bracken wherever you are!)

If you have the free Adobe Acrobat Reader programme, you can access
the information (.pdf) in this article. As I read it though my head
immediately started to throb and I realized that this question should
be dealt with by official researchers who like Algebra.
