In the middle group are errors in understanding and writing the final answer. The form of errors from female students in the middle group are errors in transformation, processing skills and writing the final answer, 3) The forms of errors from male students in the low group are skill errors, transformation and writing conclusions. Finally, the forms of errors for female students in the lower group are misunderstanding, transformation errors, process skills and writing errors in answers. Forget to write down the final conclusion, and didn't get the final conclusion right.
