A Study of Developing Mathematical Problems about Addition and Subtraction via Computer Network (Article written in chinese)

Hsiu-Lan MA

Abstract

This study was conducted through two semesters. In the first semester, 24 students developed mathematical problems about addition and subtraction on the Bulletin Board System (BBS). In the second semester, the researcher collected all the pro blems students had developed on the BBS in the first semester. Then those problems were analyzed by type of problems situation and the students' daily experiences. In addition, students' misconceptions were examined. The data indicates that the BBS could induce students to do mathematics and let low mathematics abilities who normally are indifferent and do not participate become participants. Thus, we might view the BBS as a venue to assist students with low mathematics abilities to develop mathematical p roblem.

Keywords: Addition and Subtraction; Bulletin Board System (BBS); Developing Problem Situation (Problem Posing).
