This study “Mathematics errors among Primary School Children” was carried out to explore the mathematical difficulties in mathematical achievement in class1 children of Government and Private managements.

This study was quantitative in nature and involved 50 children from 1st class from government and private schools. An achievement test based on the syllabus of state textbook maths, Telangana was administered to the sample children. The administration of the above test took 30 to 40 minutes on an average. Each child’s achievement was analyzed for the error patterns that were identified in different math concepts of class 1.

It was concluded from the analysis and interpretation of the data that children have difficulties mostly in conceptual and procedural errors followed by factual errors in number competence and basic mathematical operations. The Findings and analysis of this study will facilitate teachers to get insight into teaching methodologies to further mathematical learning and reduce the learning gap in children in the foundational years.
