Abstract
The purpose of this study is to analyze errors and treatment behavior during the course of mathematics learning of academic achievement by applying reflective activities in the second semester of the third year of elementary school. The study participants are students from two classes, 21 from the third-grade S elementary school in Seoul and 20 from the comparative class. In the case of the experiment group, the multiplication unit was reconstructed into a mathematics class that applied reflective activities. They were pre-post-test to examine the changes in students' mathematics performance, and mathematical communication was recorded and analyzed for the focus group to analyze the patterns of learners' error handling in the reflective activities. In addition, they recorded and analyzed students' activities and conversations for error type and error handling. As a result of the study, the student's mathematics achievement was increased using reflective activities. When learning double digit multiplication, the error types varied. It was also confirmed that the reflective activities helped learners reflect on the multiplication algorithm and analyze the error-ridden calculations to reflect on and deal with their errors.
