We may soon know the answers to many long-standing mathematical problems.
AI-powered breakthroughs are raising big questions about how to do mathematics – and why we do it in the first place.
Yes, there appears to be a downward trend in Year 3 numeracy. But the decline is small and not statistically significant.
Early childhood is an important stage where children develop curiosity, values and problem-solving skills.
As AI climbs on the shoulders of many mathematicians before it, humans are also able to reach further due to advances by AI.
Yet another longstanding mathematical question has been resolved by AI – and it feels a little different from the ones that have come before
Spain’s passing triangles did more than create space: they forced France into making constant choices.
Mathematics is helping us move away from reacting to congestion, towards preventing it.
Students may think they’re just choosing a maths subject, but they are also shaping the university courses and careers most immediately available after school.
