Word problems in mathematics are a powerful tool for helping students make sense of and reason with mathematical concepts. Many students, however, struggle with word problems because of the various ...

Algebra can be demystified with the right approach. Transforming word problems into mathematical expressions is crucial, alongside using formula sheets and colour-coding equations for clarity.

The American Journal of Psychology, Vol. 107, No. 3 (Autumn, 1994), pp. 423-439 (17 pages) Students in 11th grade (N = 208) were assessed twice on the solution of algebraic word problems that ...

Abstract: We introduce an approach that automatically learns to solve algebra word problems. Our algorithm, a pioneering result for this task, reasons across sentence boundaries. It constructs and ...
