 +**Mathematics** is integral to all areas of daily life. However, assessments conducted at state, national, and international levels over the past 30 years indicate that U.S. students are “notably deficient” in their ability to solve mathematical problems [National Research Council, 2001].  
 + 
 +**Differentiated instruction** plays a critical role in today’s inclusive classrooms to meet the diverse needs of individual students.  
 + 
 +**The proposed research** will utilize cutting-edge **computer science techniques** to construct an exploratory but fully functioning differentiated instructional system of mathematical word problem solving with the following functionalities.  
 +  - The system maintains a pool of instructional materials generated by pre-defined templates or shared from students/teachers; features such as __readability__ and the noise level of irrelevant information will be automatically extracted from instructional materials by proposed __statistical natural language processing__ techniques. 
 +  - The system provides computer-assisted instruction to train students’ abilities for analyzing and solving mathematical word problems. 
 +  - It enables formative evaluation to __monitor students’ progress__. 
 +  - The system provides the recommendation of differentiated instructional materials for a specific student by utilizing a __student performance-driven recommendation algorithm__.\\
