Modelling Reality in Mathematics Classrooms: The Case of Word Problems.
Greer, Brian
Learning and Instruction, v7 n4 p293-307 Dec 1997
Word problems as used within the culture of mathematics education often promote a suspension of sense making by the students. In the papers in this issue, an alternative conceptualization of word problems is proposed that calls for mathematical modelling that takes real world knowledge into account. (SLD)
