  Why Do Students Struggle With Math Word Problems and What To Do About It 07.09.2026 28dk

  We’ve all heard it: “My students can do the math—they just struggle with word problems.” They can perform the calculation when it’s presented directly, but put that same mathematics inside a context or multi-step problem and suddenly things become much more difficult.
