The purpose of this study was to examine the mathematical components of word problems and the structure of the components, to examine the characteristics of the understanding of mathematics high achievers about word problems, and ultimately to devise a teaching method geared toward facilitating learner understanding of the word problems. Given the findings of the study, the following conclusion was reached: First, word problems could be categorized according to their mathematical components, namely the mathematical structure of multiple variables provided to learners for their problem solving. And learner's reaction might hinge on the type of word problems. Second, the mathematics high achievers relied on diverse strategies to understand the mathematical components of word problems to solve the problems. The use of diverse strategies made it possible for them to succeed in problem solving. Third, identifying the characteristics of the understanding of the mathematics high achievers about word problems made it possible to layout successful lesson plans that stressed understanding of the mathematical structure of word problems. And the teaching plans enabled the learners to get a better understanding of the given word problems.

Let M be a real hypersurface with almost contact metric structure $({\phi},{\xi},{\eta},g)$ in a non flat complex space form $M_n(c)$. In this paper, we prove that if the structure Jacobi operator $R_{\xi}$ is ${\xi}$-parallel and the Ricci tensor S commutes with the structure operator $\phi$, then a real hypersurface in $M_n(c)$ is a Hopf hypersurface. Further, we characterize such Hopf hypersurface in $M_n(c)$.
