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 ...

We’ve been taught that living systems are incredibly complex and diverse. However, there are clues that processes exist to tame these systems’ and sustain the robustness of life. Using novel ...

These student-constructed problems foster collaboration, communication, and a sense of ownership over learning.

What's the best language for learning math? Hint: You're not reading it. Chinese, Japanese, Korean and Turkish use simpler number words and express math concepts more clearly than English, making it ...

A hands-on, integrated approach has the potential to transform math from a gatekeeper into a gateway for STEM opportunities ...

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 ...

Albert Einstein once said that his mathematical genius had nothing to do with language: "Words and language, whether written or spoken, do not seem to play any part in my thought processes." And now ...

They found that students assigned to teachers who used more mathematical vocabulary in their lessons made greater progress than students who were assigned to teachers who used less. Math-vocabulary ...
