Abstract

Teaching number sense to kids before elementary school has been researched thoroughly, but there has been a lack of research into teaching the structure of word problems to kids of the same age, despite of their classroom popularity and the trouble students have with them. Our research focuses on creating a textless, image rich application empowered by the Triplet Structure Model. This model has been used with success to teach the conceptual structures of word problems, by allowing young kids to interact with the structure of arithmetic word problems. An experiment has also been done in a local kindergarten. Experiment results show that young kids can also interact successfully with the model.
