DeepMind, the Google AI R&D lab, believes that the key to more capable AI systems might lie in uncovering new ways to solve challenging geometry problems. To that end, DeepMind today unveiled ...

In the third century BCE, Apollonius of Perga asked how many circles one could draw that would touch three given circles at exactly one point each. It would take 1,800 years to prove the answer: eight ...

Introducing new math concepts via already-worked examples can give students a significant boost in learning. But choosing the right problems makes a big difference. An analysis earlier this year of ...

Scientists at Google DeepMind, Alphabet's advanced AI research division, have created artificial intelligence software able to solve difficult geometry proofs used to test high school students in the ...

Two effective manipulatives that can be used to support fractions and base 10 learning are base 10 blocks and Cuisenaire rods. Base 10 blocks work for all basic operations of addition, subtraction, ...

If you’re looking to rub elbows with the who’s who of mathematics before they hit the big time, look no further than the International Math Olympiad (IMO). In essence, IMO is a benchmark for students ...

You can probably think of a time when you’ve used math to solve an everyday problem, such as calculating a tip at a restaurant or determining the square footage of a room. But what role does math play ...

Math is a challenging subject because it requires an understanding of how to perform the operation to reach an answer, which makes it more difficult to Google an equation to find the answer difficult ...
