Many students appear to be completing assignments faster while learning less from them. This conclusion comes from one of the largest studies of how generative AI is changing student behavior and ...
A bill moving through the California Legislature would test students as early as kindergarten on math. It's part of an effort ...
In 1982, one SAT math question was missed by every student because the correct answer was not even listed. The test claimed a ...
WASHINGTON (AP) — Younger students have regained ground academically after the pandemic's disruptions while older students' test scores continue to stagnate, according to the latest testing data ...
The best-yet test of artificial intelligence’s mathematical mettle has released its first official round of results. The verdict is that large language models (LLMs) are emerging as useful—albeit ...
Think about placing dots on a flat surface. You want as many pairs as possible to be separated by the same distance. For any amount of dots, what is the greatest possible number of pairs that can be ...

There are many little health checks people can do at home ― from checking your pulse to breast self-exams. But one that might be less familiar is the thumb test. It's a relatively simple maneuver, but ...
In mid-May, OpenAI announced that an internal AI model had disproved the Erdős unit distance conjecture, a famous problem in discrete geometry that had stumped human mathematicians for the last 80 ...
Working memory is like a mental chalkboard we use to store temporary information while executing other tasks. Scientists worked with more than 200 elementary students to test their working memory, ...
“If you are a mathematician,” one of the world’s leading mathematicians recently wrote, “you may want to make sure you are sitting down before reading further.” And you’ll definitely need to sit down ...
Artificial intelligence can now solve open research-level mathematics problems — not just competition questions — and the May 2026 issue of Science News documents the moment the field registered that ...
