Some children can't understand the meaning of the problem when they do it themselves, and they can't solve a problem for a long time, but as long as parents are around to urge them, the situation will change immediately, so many parents think that their children are not conscious enough, have poor enthusiasm for learning and are not serious. In short, they will depend on their learning attitude. Of course, it is not excluded that individual children have problems in emotions, interest in learning, self-control and so on. However, the solution of application problems is a process of thinking first. If the child's thinking ability is enough to cope with the difficulty of the task at hand, the quality of the problem will probably not be affected because the child is not serious enough, so the view that only the learning attitude is considered is bound to be one-sided.

We know that the first task of doing an application problem is to read words, which is obviously different from the calculation problem, and it is not entirely a question of mathematical ability to a large extent. Because the words described in application problems are often long, it is difficult for children with poor reading ability to break sentences, let alone convert some words into abstract mathematical symbols or formulas. Some children often put the conditions before and after the question in different information groups, obviously talking about the same thing.

Secondly, a more detailed analysis of reading ability depends on the development of visual-motor integration ability, because any reading can not be separated from a series of functions of visual perception, such as eye movement, visual breadth, visual memory and so on. Some children will misread the words in the questions, lose punctuation marks, misread when copying, copy them upside down, and forget to carry and borrow when calculating. Make the already confusing questions more confusing, and what's more, they will completely miss it when reading.

Another important factor that children can't solve application problems is lack of understanding. In practical problems, both hidden words and sentences are often written in languages that are not commonly used in life, and even the questioner's intention is to deliberately test children's understanding of words. If the child's understanding is not correct at this time, it is easy to get confused, not to mention the calculation formula.

If parents sit next to them, children's visual perception ability at a disadvantage in reading words will be replaced by other superior abilities. For example, some children's hearing function is well developed. As long as the information input through the auditory channel is correct and unimpeded, it will be transmitted to the brain and then analyzed and processed. When parents sit by, they often urge and explain, and more or less turn some very written contents into daily oral information. Invisibly simplifies the problem for children. However, this kind of help is obviously dangerous, because the child's ability to solve problems by himself has not been improved, but it has just shifted the direction of the problem.

In a word, the solution of application problems is a comprehensive investigation of language ability, reading ability and mathematical calculation ability. From the beginning of reading and understanding words to the later calculation and copying, all kinds of steps will cause problems for children with backward learning basic ability. Therefore, it is more convenient for children to deal with tasks with their own eyes than to listen to their parents turn them into words and then think.

It should be noted that children with this problem generally have better hearing function, but their visual-motor integration ability and reading comprehension ability are poor. To solve this problem, we must start from the weak point, that is, strengthen the ability of visual-motor integration. If children rely too much on listening function just to cope with school homework, the development of visual motor ability will be limited accordingly. After a long time, one ability may get better and better, while the other ability will hardly develop, because these two abilities are often relative, just like people.
