The purpose of this mixed methods study was to investigate the implementation of a researcher-created numberless word problem instructional unit designed to introduce second-grade students to word problems in the semantic category of "compare with the word more, smaller unknown." The 10-day instructional unit incorporated three elements:…

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…

Gvozdic, Katarina; Sander, Emmanuel – ZDM: The International Journal on Mathematics Education, 2020
Informal strategies reflecting the representation of a situation described in an arithmetic word problem mediate students' solving processes. When the informal strategies are inefficient, teaching students to make way for more efficient ways to find the solution is an important educational issue in mathematics. The current paper presents a…

Li, Li; Zhou, Xin; Gao, Xuliang; Tu, Dongbo – ZDM: The International Journal on Mathematics Education, 2020
In this study we investigated the development of 245 kindergarteners' mathematics problem solving (MPS) at two time points within 7 months using a cognitive diagnostic test, which measured three cognitive components (mathematical knowledge and skills, semantic understanding, and quantitative reasoning) with eleven cognitive attributes. The effects…

Cartwright, 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…

Kilic, Cigdem – EURASIA Journal of Mathematics, Science & Technology Education, 2015
In this study it was aimed to determine pre-service primary teachers' knowledge structures of fraction through problem posing activities. A total of 90 pre-service primary teachers participated in this study. A problem posing test consisting of two questions was used and the participants were asked to generate as many as problems based on the…

Leikin, Mark; Tovli, Esther – Creativity Research Journal, 2014
This study examined the possible effect of bilingualism on creativity in nonmathematical and mathematical problem solving among bilingual and monolingual preschoolers. Two groups of children (M age = 71.9 months, SD = 3.6) from the same monolingual kindergartens participated in this study: 15 Russian/Hebrew balanced bilinguals and 16 native…

van der Schoot, Menno; Bakker Arkema, Annemieke H.; Horsley, Tako M.; van Lieshout, Ernest C. D. M. – Contemporary Educational Psychology, 2009
This study examined the effects of consistency (relational term consistent vs. inconsistent with required arithmetic operation) and markedness (relational term unmarked ["more than"] vs. marked ["less than"]) on word problem solving in 10-12 years old children differing in problem-solving skill. The results showed that for unmarked word problems,…
