New ActivityThe latest activity to be updated on this site is called "Algebraic Notation" (Simplification using the normal conventions of algebra.). So far this activity has been accessed 77401 times and 14537 people have earned a Transum Trophy for completing it. 
It is important for pupils to learn algebraic notation in maths because it is a fundamental concept that forms the basis for more advanced mathematical skills. Understanding how to simplify expressions using algebraic notation allows students to solve complex problems, manipulate equations, and make connections between different mathematical concepts. Featured ActivityBidmaze Find your way through the maze encountering mathematical operations in the correct order to achieve the given total. This is an addictive challenge that begins easy but develops into quite a difficult puzzle. Recent News:Study deepens understanding of cell migration, important for potential medical advancesA new study integrated mathematical modeling with advanced imaging to discover that the physical shape of the fruit fly egg chamber, combined with chemical signals, significantly influences how cells move. Cell migration is critical in wound healing, immune responses, and cancer metastasis, so the work has potential to advance a range of medical treatments. more... In nature's math, freedoms are fundamentalScientists have developed a unified theory for mathematical parameters known as gauge freedoms. Their new formulas will allow researchers to interpret research results much faster and with greater confidence. The development could prove fundamental for future efforts in agriculture, drug discovery, and beyond. more... A chip with natural blood vesselsMiniature organs on a chip could allow us to do scientific studies with great precision, without having to resort to animal testing. The main problem, however, is that artificial tissue needs blood vessels, and they are very hard to create. Now, new technology has been developed to create reproducible blood vessels using high-precision laser pulses. Tissue has been created that acts like natural tissue. more... A faster, more reliable method for simulating the plasmas used to make computer chipsResearchers developed a faster, more stable way to simulate the swirling electric fields inside industrial plasmas -- the kind used to make microchips and coat materials. The improved method could lead to better tools for chip manufacturing and fusion research. more... AI is good at weather forecasting. Can it predict freak weather events?Scientists found that neural networks cannot yet forecast 'gray swan' weather events, which might not appear in existing training data but could still happen -- like 200-year floods or massive hurricanes. more... Scientists discover class of crystals with properties that may prove revolutionaryResearchers have discovered a new class of materials -- called intercrystals -- with unique electronic properties that could power future technologies. Intercrystals exhibit newly discovered forms of electronic properties that could pave the way for advancements in more efficient electronic components, quantum computing and environmentally friendly materials, the scientists said. more... Superconductors: Amazingly orderly disorderA surprising connection has been found, between two seemingly very different classes of superconductors. In a new material, atoms are distributed irregularly, but still manage to create long-range magnetic order. more... |
