Cognitive overload can create a bottleneck during math lessons, but there are simple strategies to clear up students’ brain space for complex problem-solving.

This story originally appeared in the February 2025 issue of Texas Monthly as part of our public-education feature, “What Our Schools Actually Need.” Humans have been learning math for thousands of ...

For all of the recent strides we’ve made in the math world—like a supercomputer finally solving the Sum of Three Cubes problem that puzzled mathematicians for 65 years—we’re forever crunching ...

Imagine you are a mountaineer. Nothing excites you more than testing your skill, strength and resilience against some of the most extreme environments on the planet, and now you've decided to take on ...

Ubiquitous screens, classroom chaos, a dearth of qualified teachers: The reasons our children are struggling in math class are multitude.

OpenAI’s unreleased model solved five of 10 unpublished research-level math problems and proposed a breakthrough physics formula, signaling a new era for AI in science.

The algorithms that drive artificial intelligence are rooted in sophisticated mathematical concepts. So, then, it might make sense that the marriage between AI and math instruction in K-12 schools ...

Yet, to perform that motion, your brain is solving a massive physics problem in milliseconds. It is processing the same kind of complex math that typically demands a warehouse-sized supercomputer.
