Common misconceptions
  • Reverses 3, 5, 7, or 9 (mirror writing) — developmentally normal at K, not penalized but addressed.
  • Writes 12 as '21' (swaps tens and ones in two-digit numerals) — the 'teens transposition' error.
  • Forms numeral 8 as two stacked circles instead of one continuous figure-eight stroke.
  • Confuses written 6 and 9 when card is rotated.
