A Study on the Homogeneity of Objects and the Variety of Context in Addition Word Problems
덧셈 문장제에서 대상의 동질성과 상황의 다양성에 대한 소고
Abstract
To solve the addition word problems provides young children the chance to learn about and exercise in problem solving. This paper focuses on two aspects to be considered in addition word problems: the homogeneity of objects and the variety of contexts. The homogeneity of objects involved in addition word problems has to be kept in the following reasons: concept of unit, effectiveness of information, prevention of inappropriate variety, inconsistency of mathematics with real world, continuity between elementary and secondary mathematics. And for the variety of contexts, the additive structure proposed by G. Vergnaud, can be considered: composition, transformation, relation of comparison, composition of two transformations, composition of two relations, transformation of a relation. According to this structure, some examples, which contain homogeneous objects, were extracted from the elementary school mathematics textbooks.
