This post is by Curtis A. Taylor, Sixth Grade Math/Science, High Tech Middle North County. “I know that you are capable, and you will be more than excellent.” This is what my seventh grade math ...

A good grasp of maths has been linked to greater success in employment and better health. But a large proportion of us – up to 22% – have mathematical learning difficulties. What’s more, around 6% of ...

Mathematical learning draws on both domain-specific and domain-general cognitive operations that enable individuals to acquire, represent and manipulate numerical information. Core to this endeavour ...

Applying a brain stimulation method, which was previously suggested to enhance mathematical learning in healthy adults, may improve the performance of children with mathematical learning difficulties, ...

The cognitive foundations of mathematical learning rest on the interplay between domain-general processes—including working memory, executive function and spatial reasoning—and domain-specific ...

Picture the following: A student volunteers to answer a math question in an elementary school classroom. The teacher knows from working with the student previously that although she can easily follow ...

Learning and Teaching PK-12 (MTLT) is now available. In the issue's Front-and-Center article, "A New Audience for Assessment Results: The Children," the authors challenge the overreliance on ...

Holidays bring celebration, rest and, for many families, long stretches of indoor time. For some, this means table top games quickly reappear on kitchen tables. Games provide opportunities for ...

Group 2 had some trouble distinguishing between necessary teacher knowledge of mathematics (Question 1) and mathematical instincts, sensibilities, dispositions that seem crucial to teaching ...

A team from the University of Geneva (UNIGE), in collaboration with CY Cergy Paris University (CYU) and University of Burgundy (uB), have analyzed drawings made by children and adults when solving ...

Researchers have demonstrated that self-organization of neurons as they 'learn' follows a mathematical theory called the free energy principle. The principle accurately predicted how real neural ...

The intersection of machine learning and mathematical logic — spanning computer science, pure mathematics, and statistics — has catalyzed recent advances in artificial intelligence and deep learning ...
