The purpose of this study was to investigate what factors third-grade students took into consideration when posing problems for their peers and how these factors affected the mathematical complexities of the problems. Free and semi-structured problem-posing tasks were given to 27 third-grade students, and the problems they created for their peers…

Direct linkCartwright, Kelly B.; Taboada Barber, Ana; Archer, Casey J. – Scientific Studies of Reading, 2022
Purpose: Math word problem solving, a form of reading comprehension, is complicated by mathematical lexical ambiguity (e.g., the word "difference" can mean "dissimilarity" in everyday discourse but "the answer in a subtraction problem" in math). This study examined the role of mathematical lexical ambiguity in math…

Viterbori, Paola; Traverso, Laura; Usai, M. Carmen – Journal of Cognition and Development, 2017
This study investigated the roles of different executive function (EF) components (inhibition, shifting, and working memory) in 2-step arithmetic word problem solving. A sample of 139 children aged 8 years old and regularly attending the 3rd grade of primary school were tested on 6 EF tasks measuring different EF components, a reading task and a…

Vicente, Santiago; Orrantia, Jose; Verschaffel, Lieven – British Journal of Educational Psychology, 2007
Background: Studies on rewording word problems can be grouped into two main groups: situational rewording, in which the situation denoted by the text is described more richly, and conceptual rewording, in which the underlying semantic relations are highlighted. Aims: Our aims are to define and distinguish these two kinds of rewording and to test…

Desoete, Annemie; Roeyers, Herbert – British Journal of Educational Psychology, 2005
Background: Research on the relationship between cognitive skills and mathematical problem solving is usually conducted on adults or on participants with acquired deficits associated with brain injury (e.g. Cipolotti, 1995; Cohen, Dehaene, & Verstichel, 1994; McCloskey, 1992). Aims: In these studies we wanted to make a contribution to the…

Swanson, H. Lee; Beebe-Frankenberger, Margaret – Journal of Educational Psychology, 2004
This study identified cognitive processes that underlie individual differences in working memory (WM) and mathematical problem-solution accuracy in elementary school children at risk and not at risk for serious math difficulties (SMD). A battery of tests was administered that assessed problem solving, achievement, and cognitive processing in…
