Quantitative analysis reveals error patterns related to mathematical ability in middle school students, suggesting targeted interventions.

67 students made errors at various stages of mathematical modeling, linking errors to their mathematical abilities.
Errors in validating and understanding were most common, with high-ability students struggling particularly in interpreting.
Using Newman Error Analysis, students' mistakes were mapped to their categorized mathematical abilities: high, medium, and low.
Further research should entail aligning instruction methods to student abilities to enhance mathematical modeling skills.

Permata et al. (2025) studied this question.
