New ActivityThe latest activity to be updated on this site is called "Circles" (Practise using pi to calculate various circle measurements. There are six levels of difficulty.). So far this activity has been accessed 43039 times and 12309 people have earned a Transum Trophy for completing it. 
It is important for pupils to learn about circles and how to calculate their measurements using pi in mathematics for several reasons. Firstly, understanding circles and the concept of pi helps students develop a deeper understanding of geometry and spatial reasoning. This knowledge is crucial for various fields such as engineering, architecture, and physics where understanding shapes and measurements accurately is essential. Featured ActivityCar Park Puzzle Can you get your car out of the very crowded car park by moving other cars forwards or backwards? There are five levels of increasing difficulty and the interactive interface makes this a fun problem solving exercise. Recent News: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... Mathematician solves algebra's oldest problem using intriguing new number sequencesA mathematician has built an algebraic solution to an equation that was once believed impossible to solve. more... How math helps to protect crops from invasive diseaseNew research demonstrates how mathematical modeling can predict outbreaks of toxic fungi in Texas corn crops -- offering a potential lifeline to farmers facing billions in harvest losses. more... New method improves survival analysis power in clinical and epidemiological studiesInnovative statistical method helps determine ideal threshold times in restricted mean survival time analyses. more... Using ChatGPT, students might pass a course, but with a costWith the assumption that students are going to use artificial intelligence and large language models such as ChatGPT to do their homework, researchers set out to learn how well the free version of ChatGPT would compare with human students in a semester-long undergraduate control systems course. more... Study shows addressing working memory can help students with math difficulty improve word problem-solving skillsWorking 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, assess its role in word-problem solving and if interventions could boost it and thereby improve their word problem solving skills. Results showed that improving working memory helped both students with and without math difficulties and can help educators more effectively by helping teach the science of math, study authors argue. more... |
