Abstract
The result of this bachelor work is an improved word problem solving environment. The
basic version of the environment was made by E. Koppel in 2006. The added functionality
includes:
1. Adding division arithmetic operation to the environment.
2. Adding decimal fraction calculation capability.
3. Adding the capability to save user’s solution and mistakes made during the
solving.
4. Adding the functionality to generate variables used in exercises.
5. Creation of teacher’s program for creating word problems.
The environment for solving word problems is aimed for elementary school children to
help them solve word problems and familiarise them with using the computer. Current
environment allows the user to solve word problems by calculating meaningful quantities
step by step and then reaching the answer. The current constraints of the environment are
that only mathematical operations with positive numbers are allowed.
