ABSTRACT

The mathematical word problem needs reading skills, mathematical calculation abilities and problem solving skills at the same time. The mathematical word problem solving test measures not that only single reading or mathematical skills but that reading skills, mathematical abilities, and cognitive variables that influence these skills in overall. Therefore, this study is to compare the performance of mathematical word problem solving of children at risk in mathematics disabilities(MD), comorbid in reading and mathematical disabilities (MDRD), and children without disabilities(N) by measuring the mathematical formula, answer and total score of mathematical word problem. Additionally, this study is also to investigate the differences between the performance of cognitive variables through measuring the cognitive variables that influence the mathematical word problem solving. As a result, the children at risk in MD only and MDRD showed lower performance in mathematical word problem solving than the children without disabilities(N) did, especially the children at risk in MDRD revealed the lowest performance. Regard with the cognitive variables, the children at risk in MDRD are also classified with the lowest performance group in all the cognitive variables except for attention. According to the result of this study, implication and recommendation were suggested that diagnostic instrument and education program are needed to develop to applying practically for the children at risk in MDRD.
