The author tries to show some causes of failures in the creation of mathematical concepts. One of them is stiffening of concept cores. It makes impossible identification of untypical exemplars of a ...

A new study challenges the common practice in many classrooms of teaching mathematical concepts by using "real-world," concrete examples. Researchers found that college students who learned a ...

As a mathematics education researcher, I study how math instruction impacts students' learning, from following standard math procedures to understanding mathematical concepts. Focusing on the latter, ...

Scientists explore the physics of how polarization-filtered colors emerge, how they can be controlled, and why subtle changes in viewing angle, sample orientation, and the order of layers of films ...

When studying to become a math teacher, many teachers-in-training are taught to use concrete, real world examples to help illustrate mathematical concepts. New research, published in last week's ...

The new bachelor’s degree brings together essential elements of both mathematics and computing training and includes the ...
