When it comes to tackling reasoning-based problems, large language models (LLMs) have a terrible reputation. Their reasoning performance can, however, be greatly enhanced by applying straightforward ...

Practical word problems are often considered one of the most complex parts of elementary school mathematics. They require students to understand the context of a math problem, identify what the ...

Abstract: Computer-assisted instruction systems have been broadly applied to help students solving math word problems. However, these systems offer little help to students encountering multi-step ...

Motivated by large language models' impressive reasoning abilities elicited by the chain-of-thought prompting (Wei et al., 2022), we propose to inject multi-step reasoning ability into relatively ...

At Peeples Elementary, they like to learn outside the box. For a recent lesson, Victoria Saxon’s 3rd and 4th Grade Rockets Leaders took it outside the box and instead focused on bar graphs. Tasked ...

Word problems try and tell students a story about the math problem in front of them. They are a useful way to connect abstract numbers to concrete situations, so students can learn early on to apply ...
