Improving mathematical problem solving: A computerized approach

Computers in Human Behavior, 2006
Mathematics teachers often experience difficulties in teaching students to become skilled problem solvers. This paper evaluates the effectiveness of two interactive computer programs for high school mathematics problem solving. Both programs present students with problems accompanied by instruction on domain-specific knowledge required in different ...

Brain dynamics of mathematical problem solving

2012 Annual International Conference of the IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society, 2012
The purpose of this study is to examine brain activities of participants solving mental math problems. The research investigated how problem difficulty affected the subjects' responses and electroencephalogram (EEG) in different brain regions. In general, it was found that solution latencies (SL) to the math problems increased with difficulty.

Developing mathematical problem solving skills

Journal of Computer Assisted Learning, 1998
Abstract Problem solving often requires a representation of given information in a structured form which can stimulate and support the problem solving process. FunctionLab is a computer based learning environment meeting this requirement and designed to assist problem solving and the development of problem solving skills in algebra word problems.

Mathematical Problem Solving and Cognitive Enhancement

2020
In recent years there has been a great increase in research on cognitive enhancement issues of students and adults. For this purpose, different interventions and a variety of strategies have been proposed. According to previous studies, mathematical problem solving is a related intervention, as it has been argued that frequent involvement in such ...

Problem solving and mathematics learning

The Journal of Mathematical Behavior, 1994
Abstract A year-long study of 41 Grade 8 mathematics classrooms investigated the effect on student learning of classroom teaching which incorporated a problem-solving dimension. To this end, three teaching approaches were implemented: algorithmic practice, teaching with meaning, and a problem-solving approach labeled problem-process teaching.

Mathematical Problem Solving

2003
Abstract Everyone can and should become proficient in mathematics. Furthermore, to become proficient in mathematics means to build several different—but intertwined—strands of mathematical proficiency (or kinds of mathematical knowledge) that can be used to solve mathematics problems.

An intermediate representation for mathematical problem solving

1989
An intermediate representation for an intelligent tutoring system for elementary combinatorics is presented. The representation appears to satisfy both the requirements for a relevant environment for students' problem solving and for adequate diagnosis of student actions for the domain of interest.

Mathematics as Problem Solving

2017
Contrary to the belief of several mathematicians that philosophy is irrelevant to mathematics, this chapter argues that philosophy is relevant to it, because it may expose the inadequacy of some basic mathematical concepts, it may provide an analysis of some basic mathematical concepts, and may help to formulate new rules of discovery. What is relevant
