This paper describes the Solver Learning Environment developed for mathematical word problem-solving. Solver was produced for specific research purpose. The paper also presents the methodological solutions of the present study. To collect data, a teaching experiment was arranged in 1995 at the Kaukajarvi School in the city of Tampere, Finland. The participants of the study (N=66) were fifteen years old. Empirical group comparison methods were used in the study. During the teaching experiment, group A studied mathematical word problem-solving in the technology-based Solver Learning Environment. Group B studied the same material with conventional teaching methods, using only pencil-and-paper. The control group did not take part in the problem-solving lessons; they just participated in the tests. Several tests were arranged to measure the mathematical word problem-solving skills of the pupils and to evaluate their mathematical abilities. This paper examines the pupils’ discussions and their attitudes towards discussions in the Solver Learning Environment.
