Abstract

Article deals with mistakes and errors in mathematics and in school mathematics. If school mathematics is only a transfer of a finished theory, mistakes are not allowed. If school mathematics is a process of knowledge construction, mistakes are natural elements of this process. Some problems from history, textbooks and school practice are solved.
