Global math archive: MIT and collaborators launched MathNet, the largest Olympiad-level problem collection, spanning 47 countries, 17 languages, and four decades of competitions. Thinking like Fermi: ...

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 ...

Looking for some math problem-solving activities for middle school? Good, you’re at the right page then. Right before children enter Middle School (around the age of 11 or 12), they enter a critical ...

The term "computer" used to be applied to humans that performed calculations by hand. It's still important for today's kids to still know how to, say, multiply without using their calculators (or ...

A new study reveals that human mathematicians have surpassed AI in solving unpublished high-level math problems, challenging ...

In the midst of the coronavirus pandemic, teachers have had to rethink pretty much everything they do with students—and that includes how they give math tests. With many students working remotely, ...

The result is correct but challenges core norms of mathematics: checking proofs, crediting ideas and keeping research open to ...

Math is a problem — one that a relentless onslaught of testing has not solved. Some assume kids are the ones failing, but it’s time to acknowledge that it’s our tests and the curriculum they determine ...

The closest the field has come to solving the planar unit distance problem, first proposed in the 1940s, was in 1984. Now, OpenAI claims an internal model has cracked the puzzle.
