Abstract

Technology plays a vital role in education for all, including the students being discriminated in normal schools due to their different way of learning styles. Mathematics is one of the primary components of school education. Word problem in mathematics resembles a daily life situation. In general understanding the word problem is one of the prerequisites in solving the problem. Students with learning problem find difficulty in understanding the situational word problems in mathematics. The learning problem cannot be cured but can be reduced by giving proper training in the required domain. Training can be given with similar type of questions generated by automatic question generation techniques. This paper discusses two methodologies for question generation related to math word problems.
