Majority and minority correct procedures for solving mathematical word problems

Original language description

The contribution investigates the usualness of correct procedures used for solving mathematical word problems. Participants of the referred qualitative empirical study were future primary school teachers attending a one-year inquiry-based university course on mathematics. During the course they solved twelve open word problems with different difficulty that were based on operations with natural numbers and fractions. Comparison of correct solution procedures revealed two diverse types of word problems: those with various procedures evenly used by the solvers, and those with one procedure used by majority of the solvers and the others used by minority of the solvers. Detailed comparison of the word problems with majority and minority solution procedures revealed two diverse groups of participants: those who tended to use the majority procedures, and those who tended to use the minority procedures. In general, the contribution addresses the issues related to the use of formative assessment in inquiry-based mathematics education.
