Abstract

Elementary school students sometimes exhibit deplorable behaviors when faced with arithmetic problems. These behaviors may result from certain teaching practices and could be mitigated by a few actions that are relatively easy to implement in the classroom. We propose four avenues focusing on the choice and formulation of problems and the clarification of elements of the didactical contract.
