Abstract(in English) A dialogue plays an important role in learning how to so1ve a problem and forming a concept. We are now developing a prototype system which tries to so1ve problems of first grade mathematics while it has a dialogue with a teacher. Only natural language is used as communication modality. People frequently supplement natural language comunication with simultanious coordinated pointing gestures and drawing. In this paper, we discuss multimodal communication in problem so1ving and knowledge acquisition process. First, the problem so1ving system is summarized, and an example of multimodal dialogue is given, focusing on referent resolution in mathematical problems. Next, a method of combining natural language with pointing gestures and drawing on visual aids is proposed. Finally, an algorithm of interpreting the gestures and drawings in cooperation with natural language utterances is presented.
