Student Classification of Mathematical Word Problems [electronic resource] : Bases for Classification and Relationships to Problem-Solving and Other Abilities / Edward A. Silver.

Pre-algebra students (N=98) were asked to sort a collection of word problems into groups of problems which they thought were mathematically related. On the basis of these sorts, four dimensions of problem-relatedness were identified: (1) mathematical structure, (2) contextual details, (3) question f...
