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, ...

When students look for keywords, they may fail to read the whole problem. Teachers can use these three strategies to help ...

Every year, the countries competing in the International Mathematical Olympiad arrive with a booklet of their best, most original problems. Those booklets get shared among delegations, then quietly ...

From writing essays to coding, there’s seemingly nothing modern AI chatbots like ChatGPT and Microsoft Copilot cannot accomplish. But even though they seem limitless on the surface, they’re certainly ...

When you think back on elementary school math, do you have fond memories of the countless worksheets you completed on adding fractions or solving division problems? Probably not. Researchers and ...

Mathematicians excel at handling complexity and uncertainty. Mathematical reasoning strategies aren't just useful for dilemmas involving numbers. We can apply math mindsets to improve our approach to ...

Nobel Prize-winning physicist Giorgio Parisi and his team used Anthropic's Claude AI to solve a physics math problem that had remained unexplained for more than a decade.

In my work with school districts, I have seen educators recognize the need for more explicit instruction, only to find ...

OpenAI says an AI reasoning model disproved an 80-year-old Erdős geometry conjecture, raising new questions about AI’s role in research.

Think about placing dots on a flat surface. You want as many pairs as possible to be separated by the same distance. For any amount of dots, what is the greatest possible number of pairs that can be ...
