From a point of view in which pupils actively form their own knowledge, we propose to analyse pupil activity in order to help teachers in their classes and improve their teaching. From this perspective, the type and the number of errors made by pupils constitute an important information source for the teachers. In cognitive psychology, research on learning has provided error could be considered as an indicator of the cognitive processes, the kind of knowledge used by the pupil when forming an answer to the question that is asked. So, we analysed written work from middle school pupils following an evaluation from their mathematics teacher on the arithmetical treatment of positive and negative numbers. The analysis is based on the individual protocol method. In this paper, we present a few examples from this analysis and ways of looking at them with regard to pedagogical strategies.</style></abstract><label><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">ACL</style></label></record></records></xml>
