This article looks at a small project investigating the use of interactive whiteboards (IWBs) as tools for children's group-based learning in primary science.
A fallacy is a kind of error in reasoning. The alphabetical list below contains 171 names of the most common fallacies, and it provides explanations and examples of each of them

269-282(2004)This paper utilizes Toulmin's original framework to analyse over 400 answers given by 11-year-olds to a question on a written mathematics test. The question required children to say whether a given statement is true and give a written explanation. Categorizations of answers are developed from the data and examined, suggesting that many children appeared to understand the mathematics but were not able to give adequate explanations. Findings are also compared with other researchers' findings. In contrast to other studies, a large category of non-valid answers appear mathematical, but are largely restatement of the information the children were given. Although only a minority provided explanations deemed worthy of a mark, further analysis demonstrates greater degrees of comprehension than this suggests. Teaching strategies for building children's expressive and specifying skills are identified..
