Dutch term or phrase: redactiesom
De algemene feitenkennis en praktisch redeneren in een situationele context zijn zwak, maar de rekenvaardigheden (onthouden en bewerken van redactiesommen), woordenschat en abstract talig redeneren (overstijgend denken) zijn nog zwakker ontwikkeld.

Thanks in advance!

Explanation:
A redactiesom is a math problem described as a little story. Instead of something like "How much is 1 + 1?" it would be something like "If you have an apple and a friend gives you another one, how many apples will you have?"
