Taking a more visual approach to math instruction at the K-12 and higher-ed levels could dramatically change brain development as it relates to math success.

These five visual mathematical patterns offer us more than just intellectual curiosity—they provide frameworks for understanding our human experience in the context of math and nature.

Emerging research from Stanford University supports using visual learning techniques when teaching math to K-12 students, and even college ones too.

It can often be difficult to convey the power and appeal of math to a general audience. But that doesn't mean that people aren't trying. Two such efforts were brought to my attention in the past ...

DO THE MATH: How does the brain function when students think about mathematics—or rather, "see" it? That question is posed in a new report entitled “Seeing as Understanding: The Importance of Visual ...

In a new paper, Stanford professor Jo Boaler argues that math teachers should use more visual approaches in their classrooms, including encouraging students to use their fingers to count and ...

How Math is Visual Papers from Benoit Mandelbrot's office offer a peek into the mathematician's thinking process. His work and that of his contemporaries show how images can inform theory and ...

From fireworks to woodburning to modeling fire behavior, Jenna Sjunneson McDanold’s love of fire has fueled her growth as an artist and a mathematician. As part of her studies as mathematical modeling ...

Our future depends on mathematical thinking, but math trauma extends across our country – and the world – due to the ineffective ways the subject is often taught in classrooms, as a narrow set of ...

In this math problem illustrated by Gergely Dudás, a cartoon bear sits in front of a fill-in-the-blank equation, which requires figuring out which symbols go between the four numbers.
