ResumoThe solution of verbal problems in algebra has always presented difficulties to pupils and teachers. Orlie and Hendershot conclude that “the weakest part of classroom instruction is the teaching of verbal problems” (8:147). Haertter says, “High School pupils who study algebra have greater difficulty in the solution of verbal problems than with the study of any other topic of that subject” (6: 166). In a questionnaire submitted by one of the present writers, fifty-three teachers of algebra in the province of Saskatchewan ranked the solution of verbal problems as the most difficult topic in the algebra they taught.
