Abstract: Taking several topic words and a math expression as input, the aim of math word problem generation is to generate a problem that can be answered by the given expression and related to these ...

Researchers tested a research-based intervention with English learners with math difficulty. The intervention proved to boost comprehension and help students synthesize and visualize information, ...

Do you stare at a math word problem and feel completely stuck? You're not alone. These problems mix reading comprehension with complex math concepts, making them a common hurdle for students. The good ...

During my time as a learning support math teacher, I always had a daily word problem on my board for students to work on when they first walked into my classroom. To be completely honest, this ...

Large Language Models predict text; they do not truly calculate or verify math. High scores on known Datasets do not always mean real understanding. Small changes in numbers can break Language Models ...

The New York State Education Department is pushing new math guidelines, including a recommendation that teachers stop giving timed quizzes — because it stresses students out. The new guidelines also ...

A math word problem is a narrative with a specific topic that provides clues to the correct equation with numerical quantities and variables therein. In this paper, we focus on the task of generating ...

Word problems are often described as “math stories” and can put complex mathematical operations into a more approachable form for students. But students often struggle when they see a combination of ...

For decades, educators have assumed that learning arithmetic in school helps students solve real-world problems. Yet, a new study published in Nature by a team of researchers including Nobel laureates ...

Students often struggle to connect math with the real world. Word problems—a combination of words, numbers, and mathematical operations—can be a perfect vehicle to take abstract numbers off the page.

A new proof about prime numbers illuminates the subtle relationship between addition and multiplication — and raises hopes for progress on the famous abc conjecture. One morning last November, the ...
