Text Integration and Mathematical Connections: A Computer Model of Arithmetic Word Problem Solving
Understanding arithmetic word problems involves a complex interaction of text comprehension and mathematical processes. This article presents a computer simulation designed to capture the working memory demands required in “bottomup” comprehension of arithmetic word problems. The simulation’s sentence-level parser and text integration component reflect the importance of processing the problem f...
متن کاملEnhancing arithmetic and word problem solving skills efficiently by individualized computer-assisted practice
Fluency of basic arithmetical operations is a precondition for mathematical problem solving. However, training of skills plays a minor role in contemporary mathematics instruction. We propose individualization of practice as a means to improve its efficiency, so that the time spent with training of skills is minimized. As a tool to relieve teachers from the time consuming tasks of individual di...
متن کاملAssessing Low-attaining Pupils in Arithmetic Word Problem Solving
This paper describes a standing alone computer based assessing system called ASSA (Adaptive System for Student Assessment), able also to be a part of a larger intelligent tutoring system. It is designed to support the assessment of pupils of age 8-12 who show a very low performance in solving simple arithmetic word problems. The main aim of the system is to tackle the lowattaining student’s abi...
متن کاملRelational Processing in Children’s Arithmetic Word problem solving
Solution of arithmetic word problem requires a mental model of task structure that represents variables and relations between them. In arithmetic addition, three variables (augend, addend, sum) are related by the addition operation (English & Halford, 1995). Flexible access to the components of the relation is required especially in non-canonical word problems, in which the augend or addend is ...
متن کاملSolving General Arithmetic Word Problems
This paper presents a novel approach to automatically solving arithmetic word problems. This is the first algorithmic approach that can handle arithmetic problems with multiple steps and operations, without depending on additional annotations or predefined templates. We develop a theory for expression trees that can be used to represent and evaluate the target arithmetic expressions; we use it ...
