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, ...

The researchers studied the interaction between learning, teaching and the use of technological tools. To this end they developed so-called applets, small interactive software components that can be ...

For centuries, the concept of infinity has captivated mathematicians and philosophers alike, stretching far beyond the simple idea of endless counting. Recent groundbreaking discoveries, however, have ...

The human brain not only remembers who other people are, it also uses basic mathematical functions called basis functions to store information about how people interact — for example, how they work ...

Remember the days when working a math problem resulted in a right or wrong answer, and parents had a basic grasp of how to help their children with math homework? Those days predated the Common Core ...

A solution to the greatest unresolved problem in pure mathematics – Riemann's hypothesis – could be coming closer, thanks to a remarkable international collaboration involving mathematicians from the ...
