How good is your company at problem solving? Probably quite good, if your managers are like those at the companies I’ve studied. What they struggle with, it turns out, is not solving problems but ...

Word problems try and tell students a story about the math problem in front of them. They are a useful way to connect abstract numbers to concrete situations, so students can learn early on to apply ...

Abstract: Quantum search algorithms, such as Grover's algorithm, are anticipated to efficiently solve constrained combinatorial optimization problems. However, applying these algorithms to the ...

Practical word problems are often considered one of the most complex parts of elementary school mathematics. They require students to understand the context of a math problem, identify what the ...

A member of our research community, Terhi Vessonen and her co-authors, looked into how different characteristics of mathematical word problem-solving tasks may influence elementary schooler’s ...

In new research, mathematicians have narrowed down one of the biggest outstanding problems in math. Huge breakthroughs in math and science are usually the work of many people over many years. Seven ...

When it comes to tackling reasoning-based problems, large language models (LLMs) have a terrible reputation. Their reasoning performance can, however, be greatly enhanced by applying straightforward ...
