Abstract	This paper reports on 73 Grades 3 to 6 students' written responses to equal groups, arrays, multiplicative comparison and Cartesian product word problems. It is part of a larger study relating to students' development of multiplicative thinking (MT). The potential of using multiplicative word problems as a diagnostic assessment to reveal students' transition barriers from additive thinking to MT was explored. The development of the assessment and some of the research findings are described here. Findings show that students experience different types of barriers during their transition from additive to MT. Some recommendations are given on how these barriers might be overcome during primary school years. (As Provided).
