On Design and Development of an Effective MathWord Problem Oriented E-Tutor

E-Learning as another modality of education delivery system has gained rapidly acceptance in the ... more E-Learning as another modality of education delivery system has gained rapidly acceptance in the recent decade as it provides time convenience, cost effectiveness, and location flexibility. However e-Learning also has an imposed weakness of lacking the ability to allow instructors the capability of providing real time feedback to students. Moreover, it’s usually also missing an instructor’s influence to a student’s affective status when providing feedback. This makes e-Learning and face-to-face learning incomparable, which has a negative impact on student learning in e-Learning environments. This paper presents the design and development for an e-Tutor, specifically for math word problems. The main computing technologies applied include unsupervised machine learning, fuzzy logic, and ontology to provide effective feedback to assist students to correct mistakes made during solving math world problems based on not only the difficulty level of math word problem itself, but also the exa...

A novel approach of providing feedbacks at where a mistake occurs during solving math word problems

In this paper we propose an interactive user input sensitive feedback model that assists students solving math word problems based on their own thinking pattern. This model uses a framework proposed by and fuzzy logic as a method to evaluate a user’s input to determine if a input for each step towards a solution is correct and if that student needs help correcting their mistakes. This model allows students to solve a math word problem by using a free form, and the immediate feedback at each step will be provided directly based on the student’s input, and customized towards to student’s thinking habit. This approach will be much effective in assisting building up students’ confidence in solving math word problem and stimulates learning.

A Novel Framework for Math Word Problem Solving

Often timesfound difficult to solve. The reason for their difficulty is because of miscomprehension and the inability to formulate a mathematical representation of the text. In this paper we present a framework based on fuzzy logicontology model that interprets a mathematical word problem in natural language and compute a solution. This framework uses ontology as a working memory and search engine to compute the solution. Fuzzy logic is used to determine the confidence of result returned, which could eliminate the confusion for a user trying to determine if the solution provided is correct. The ability to interpret a mathematical word problem and return a detailed solution will help educated users by providing them detailed steps of a solution.
