We propose a new evaluation for automatic solvers for algebra word problems, which can identify mistakes that existing evaluations overlook. Our proposal is to evaluate such solvers using derivations, ...

For most people, the word "algebra" conjures classroom memories of Xs and Ys. Weekend Edition's math guy, Keith Devlin, says that's because most schools do a terrible job of teaching it. He talks with ...

We illustrate a method, which is modeled on "breaching experiments," for studying tacit norms that govern classroom interaction around particular mathematical content. Specifically, this study ...

Abstract: To provide the step by step tutoring service like a human tutor, an intelligent tutoring system (ITS) for math word problem solving (MathITS) is proposed in this paper. The proposed MathITS ...

“Danny has 564 tomatoes. He then buys 623 carrots. How long will it take him to get home?” This scenario is what many people picture when we mention word problems. Many educators think they’re taboo.

THE first volume of this standard work, published in 1940 in a revised and rewritten form, covered the algebra prescribed chiefly for the intermediate examinations of the University of London. The ...

This is the repo for the paper: Solving Math Word Problems by Combining Language Models With Symbolic Solvers. To solve a math word problem, we first formalize the word problem as a set of variables ...
