Rethinking the Approach to Multi-step Word Problems Resolution

Mathematical multi-step word problems (MSTWP) have received a lot of research attention from academics and researchers in the past, and a variety of solutions have been offered. The main reason why students commonly fail with MSTWP is because of how the many components of an MSTWP interact to one another. According to the literature, the stage of the problem-solving process that involves creating the solution plane is the most challenging. Students require assistance in recognizing the semantic relationships between the problem's components and information organization to facilitate problem translation and solution in order to solve this issue. In order to help students learn how to resolve conflicts, we suggest in this work to rethink the MSTWP resolution technique by using a goal-driven approach during the making plan stage of the resolution process to assist student in learning how to effectively solve MSTWP.
