Students aren’t necessarily missing the math, they’re missing how to make sense of the problem itself. Once we see ...

Students often struggle to connect math with the real world. Word problems—a combination of words, numbers, and mathematical operations—can be a perfect vehicle to take abstract numbers off the page.

To learn math, students must build a mental toolbox of facts and procedures needed for different problems. But students who can recall these foundational facts in isolation often struggle to use them ...

In 1945, as the first atomic bomb exploded in the New Mexico desert, Enrico Fermi stood miles away, holding a few scraps of paper. As the shockwave rolled toward him, he dropped the papers and watched ...

Artificial Intelligence (AI) is one area that keeps transforming the process of learning and problem-solving. The AI Math Problem Solver App is one of the most useful examples of AI use in the realm ...

Alan Veliz-Cuba has received funding from the Simons Foundation and the American Mathematical Society for some of his research. You can probably think of a time when you’ve used math to solve an ...

Google DeepMind’s AlphaProof and AlphaGeometry 2 are milestones for AI reasoning. This story originally appeared in The Algorithm, our weekly newsletter on AI. To get stories like this in your inbox ...

As a mathematics education researcher, I study how math instruction impacts students' learning, from following standard math procedures to understanding mathematical concepts. Focusing on the latter, ...

Little progress had been made in solving Ramsey problems since the 1930s. Now, researchers have found the answer to r(4,t), a longstanding Ramsey problem that has perplexed the math world for decades.
