A mathematician at Carnegie Mellon University has developed an easier way to solve quadratic equations. The mathematician hopes this method will help students avoid memorizing obtuse formulas. His ...

Algebra can be demystified with the right approach. Transforming word problems into mathematical expressions is crucial, alongside using formula sheets and colour-coding equations for clarity.

Polynomial equations are a cornerstone of modern science, providing a mathematical basis for celestial mechanics, computer graphics, market growth predictions and much more. But although most high ...

You do not have to be a mathematician to figure out the series of equations involved in this brainteaser make no sense. This numerical riddle shows a pattern of addition equations before asking you to ...

I’ve been out of school a long time (I mean a long time), yet I think I’m still pretty good at basic math. I’m always able to figure out whether a “bargain buy” at the supermarket is actually a ...

The iPad Calculator app has introduced an innovative feature called Math Notes, designed to enhance how you interact with mathematical equations. By integrating handwriting recognition, real-time ...

Most linear algebra courses start by considering how to solve a system of linear equations. \[ \begin{align} a_{0,0}x_0 + a_{0,1}x_0 + \cdots a_{0,n-1}x_0 & = b_0 ...

A worksheet containing four pages of questions on solving linear equations of increasing complexity. The grading structure is similar to that proposed for the new GCSE specification. This resource ...

Borenson and Associates, Inc., Allentown, PA, USA. Boulton-Lewis et al. (1997) used a cups and discs balance model with above-average eighth-grade students. In this model, the unknown is represented ...

WATSONVILLE — In just a matter of weeks, students throughout the region will be back into the swing of learning when summer ends and school resumes. For approximately 65 eighth graders, they have not ...
