  • The development of strategies for solving arithmetic word problems [Elektronski vir] : using keywords or diagrams?
    Doz, Eleonora ; Cotič, Mara ; Passolunghi, Maria Chiara
    Solving simple arithmetic word problems is a major ability that children must acquire while in primary education. Yet, many students struggle with this maths task. The aim of the present contribution ... is to give an overview of how to effectively support problem-solving abilities in school-age children. For many decades a very popular problem-solving practice has been the keyword strategy. By describing difficulties that students encounter with inconsistent language problems (i.e. problems where the language featured in the problem text steers the student towards an inappropriate mathematical operation), we highlight the superficiality and inappropriateness of this approach. In future, practitioners should rather focus on teaching children to integrate the problem’s textual information into an adequate mental representation, which is the basis for a successful solution strategy. As such, two methods that emphasize the use of visual representations, such as diagrams, are described.
