Abstract
We analyze some roles of errors as a source of learning in mathematics. In particular, we concentrate on investigating erroneous examples and suggest how to use them in an adaptive learning environment. This analysis informs the knowledge representation, the instructional strategies, the design of learning opportunities in our web-based learning environment ActiveMath.
