This paper proposes a math operation (e.g., Summation, Addition, Subtraction, Multiplication, Division, etc.) oriented approach to explain how the answers are obtained for math word problems. Based on the reasoning chain given by the inference engine, we search each math operator involved. For each math operator, we generate one sentence. Since explaining math operation does not require complicated syntax, we adopt a specific template to generate the text for each kind of math operator. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first explanation generation that is specifically tailored to solving the math word problem.
