Conceptual Attitude to Teaching Word Problems

Summary/Abstract: The article presents one of the possible methods how to increase pupils՚ success in the solution of word problems. Word problems are the most frequent real-life tasks. It is possible to apply word problems to develop pupils՚ logical thinking and everyday problem solution. The development of numerical awareness and the interconnection of number concept and numerical operations are the basic features of this method. The link between numerical value and physical value is emphasized, which creates a precondition to the link between calculation data and physical reality. Pupils develop their own mental models during individual solutions. Such models are more helpful for them than the learnt models or algorithms. Algorithms are discovered by pupils and the risk of their formal memorization is thus minimized among pupils.
