Most people wouldn't think that it would take rigorous mathematical proof to show how many folds it takes to make a donut shape out of paper. Yet, no one could quite figure it out until recently. How ...

The graphs above, \(y = 2x + 1\) and \(y = 2x - 2\) have the same gradient of 2. The lines are parallel. State the equation of a line that is parallel to \(y = 3x + 7\). To be parallel, two lines must ...

I was born and raised in Tianjin, China (a beautiful city 80 miles from Beijing). In 2005, I joined the Department of Modern Mechanics at University of Science and Technology of China. One year later, ...

Algebra has long been a fundamental part of any high school math curriculum. In many places it's become a fundamental part of the middle school math curriculum, too. In recent years, more students ...

One afternoon earlier this year, my 11-year-old son was sitting at his laptop and working quietly on his math homework. At least, that’s what he was supposed to be doing. When I glanced at his screen, ...

The pandemic-era backslide in math and reading scores for students across the U.S. was not a sudden catastrophe but the continuation of a brutal, decade-long "learning recession" that began years ...
