Mathematics education today is built around a singular metric: marks. For decades, this model has served as the backbone of academic success, teaching students that the number on their report card ...

Among high school students and adults, girls and women are much more likely to use traditional, step-by-step algorithms to solve basic math problems – such as lining up numbers to add, starting with ...

The tipping point came in the summer of 2025. That July, several artificial intelligence models solved five out of six problems at the International Mathematical Olympiad, an annual challenge for some ...

With automated proof-checkers, a problem can be broken up into small chunks, solved bit-by-bit, then reassembled with ...

Math is the sum of its parts, and it adds on itself. What does that mean? It means that multiplication is just repeated addition. And that mastering the times tables will help students simplify ...

Mathematician Kevin Buzzard of Imperial College London is training computers how to prove one of the most famous problems in math history: Fermat’s last theorem. Resolving the problem isn’t the point.

On a simple math task — indicating which of two amounts is greater — kids with math learning disability get the right answer as often as their good-at-math peers, but behind the scenes, their brains ...
