Mathematics deals with data analysis, integration of various fields of knowledge, involves proofs, deductive and inductive reasoning, and generalizations.

Key Points

Error analysis in mathematics

Error analysis is a method commonly used to identify the cause of student errors when they make consistent mistakes. It is a process of reviewing a student’s work and then looking for patterns of misunderstanding. Errors in mathematics can be factual, procedural, or conceptual, and may occur for several reasons. 

Here in this question, the analysis of error is being done-

• To know the nature and characteristics of error that took place by students while solving the problems of Mathematics. 
• It is important to examine the error because this analyses the problem and root of the occurrence of the error.

Hint

Let us understand the other keywords used in the option:

Hence, from the above-mentioned points, it becomes clear that to know the nature and characteristics of error that took place by students while solving the problems of Mathematics is known as Error analysis in Mathematics.
