The paper proposes a method called Key-Point-Driven Mathematical Reasoning Distillation (KPDD) to improve the mathematical reasoning abilities of Smaller Language Models (SLMs). By breaking down the problem-solving process into three stages, KPDD enhances the performance of SLMs. The approach is divided into two sub-methods: KPDD-CoT, which generates Chain-of-Thought rationales, and KPDD-PoT, which creates Program-of-Thought rationales. Experimental results show that KPDD-CoT significantly improves reasoning abilities, while KPDD-PoT achieves state-of-the-art performance in mathematical reasoning tasks.

KPDD helps Smaller Language Models do math problems better by breaking the process into smaller steps. It makes two types of models: Chain-of-Thought and Program-of-Thought. The paper shows that this way of distilling large language models’ math abilities works well, making it easier to use these smaller models for tasks that require mathematical reasoning.
