碩士 === 國立臺灣師範大學 === 資訊教育學系 === 98 === Mathematical writing benefits to students』 mathematical learning, so it is valued gradually by mathematical educators. And it can be applied more widely with digital platform. The purpose of this study is to examine the learning effects on fraction division problem solving including the difference of the scores in achievement test, the amounts of problem solving strategies and the degree of flexible problem solving, when students studied writing on wiki platform through adequate mathematical writing strategies. The study can be reference for promoting students』 mathematical learning effects through online mathematical writing. A nonequivalent pretest-posttest group design was used with 60 participants of two classes of the sixth grade at an elementary school in Taoyuan City. After the experiment, data analysis was adopted independent sample t test and ANCOVA. There were three conclusions as follows: 1. Using online mathematical writing gets more significant influences on the scores in achievement test than traditional teaching. 2. Using online mathematical writing has more problem solving strategies than traditional classroom course. 3. Using online mathematical writing makes students solve problems more flexibly than traditional classroom course.
