Abstract

The aim of this article is to establish the relative importance of four different factors in solving addition and subtraction problems. These four factors are: verbal cues such as “more than” or “less than”, the operation involved, temporal hierarchy and the order of the numbers involved. Tests involving sixteen problems were administered to pupils of the 6th grade (10–12 years old) in the ORLEANS region in France. The data analysis showed that the most important factors were verbal cues and the operation called into play. Further original data analysis was necessary to allow the two other factors to stand out.
