Abstract
Word problems become a stumbling block for many children, including those who are adept at
operational and procedural skills. Many children develop an approach to tackling word
problems based on looking for cue words such as altogether, difference, sum and so on; but
this has a very limited value. Too often, such children resort to guesswork while figuring out an
operation. These children experience significantly greater math anxiety when they are
confronted by word problems. Why is this?
