Research suggests some reasons students struggle to learn mathematics include: fast pace, reading difficulty, working memory, conceptual understanding, or misunderstanding. Word problems or problem tasks have always been considered the most difficult part of teaching and learning mathematics at any grade level. When I taught middle and high school math, I would ask my students, “What job will you have in the future where you will be handed a page full of computations to do or equations to solve?” Sometimes, they would respond with, “Maybe, a math teacher?” Then I’d ask, “Other than being a math teacher?” They were stumped. I would explain the reason we do several problems of a similar type is to understand how to get solutions. However, we need to understand how to solve problems or tasks that represent what might occur in daily situations and problems that arise in specialty areas. This is where the mathematics we’re practicing connects to the “real world.”
