Title
Designing a multimedia-based cognitive tool for solving word problems involving fractions
Abstract
Various studies have indicated that many students in the world faced difficulties in solving word problems especially when the problems involve fractions. A study conducted on Malaysian students shows that they too are facing similar problems. This paper describes the results of the study, its analysis and its implication on the design of a cognitive tool to solve fraction word problems. With multimedia technology today, we believe that the development of a multimedia-based cognitive tool can help improve students' performance in solving word problems.
