Indiana Univ., Bloomington. Mathematics Education Development Center. – 1977
This problem deck contains over 150 problems related to the module "Using Tables to Solve Problems." The problems are presented at five levels of difficulty and contain four basic types of two-dimensional tables: (1) constant sum; (2) constant differences; (3) constant quotient or ratio; and (4) constant product.

Jerman, Max E. – 1972
The possibility of preparing a set of word problems of a predicted level of difficulty based on six variables (for multiplication, division, recall, conversions, operations, and number of words in the problem statement) and on regression equations developed in previous work was investigated. Four problem sets were used in grades four through six,…
