Mobile Application for Children With Learning Difficulties In Mathematics - An Exploratory Study

Word problems are mathematics questions in the form of sentences. A good understanding of word-problems is important because it enables children to answer complex questions more easily. This study focused on the performance of students with mathematics learning difficulties in word-problems. The par...

This study focused on the performance of students with mathematics learning difficulties in word-problems. The participants were comprised of ten 9-year-old children (4 females and 6 males).

Mann Whitney U test was used to analyse differences in the performance of the two groups.
