| Description | In our contribution we analyze mistakes in two Mathematical kangaroo (closed) word problems. In the Czech environment, closed word problems are rather scarce; primary school pupils often do not have enough experience with them. We believe that the quantitative analysis of the choice of incorrect distractors enables us to estimate the reasons of pupils' mistakes. |
