New ActivityThe latest activity to be updated on this site is called "Mandy's Matching" (Mandy invites you to match the question with the matching percentages description.). So far this activity has been accessed 127 times and 2 people have earned a Transum Trophy for completing it. 
In the game 'Mandy's Matching,' players are given questions related to percentages, and they have to match them with the corresponding percentage descriptions. This game helps pupils strengthen their understanding of percentages and how they are used in real-life situations. Featured ActivityFour Colour Theorem This mathematical activity involves colouring in! That makes a change. Using the paint bucket tool can you flood fill the regions so that no two adjacent regions are the same colour? Recent News:AI just supercharged the race to find room temperature superconductorsScientists have combined machine learning with quantum physics to discover two new superconductors and create a much faster way to search for many more. The technique could bring researchers significantly closer to the long-sought goal of a room-temperature superconductor. more... Quantum mechanics once baffled scientists. Now it's changing the worldQuantum mechanics has journeyed from a strange and controversial idea to the foundation of some of humanity’s most advanced technologies. Now researchers are pushing its boundaries even further, with potential breakthroughs in energy, medicine, computing, and our understanding of the universe. more... Researchers found a Wordle strategy that wins 99% of the timeResearchers developed a Wordle-solving strategy that succeeds 99% of the time by focusing on information gain rather than likely answers. The method uses Shannon entropy to identify guesses that reveal the most about the hidden word. Each guess is designed to slash uncertainty and narrow the possibilities faster. The result significantly outperformed more traditional Wordle tactics. more... Scientists finally complete Schrödinger’s 100-year-old color theoryResearchers have finally resolved a key problem in a 100-year-old theory of color, showing that the qualities we perceive in colors are intrinsic to the mathematics of color space itself. The discovery sharpens our understanding of human vision and could lead to more precise color technologies and visualizations. more... Scientists discover hidden math secret inside Chinese money plant leavesScientists have uncovered a hidden mathematical secret inside the leaves of the Chinese money plant: a naturally occurring geometric pattern known as a Voronoi diagram, something typically associated with city planning, computer science, and network design. By mapping tiny pores and looping veins in the plant’s leaves, researchers discovered that the plant organizes itself using the same kind of elegant spatial logic humans use to solve complex distance problems — without ever “measuring” anything. more... New AI method tackles one of science’s hardest math problemsPenn researchers have developed a smarter AI method for solving notoriously difficult inverse equations, which help scientists uncover hidden causes behind observable effects. By introducing “mollifier layers” that smooth noisy data, they’ve made these calculations more stable and far less computationally demanding. This could transform fields like genetics, where understanding how DNA behaves is key to disease research. more... Scientists just captured a mysterious quantum “dance” inside superconductorsIn a breakthrough experiment, scientists directly imaged how particles pair up in a system that mimics superconductors. Instead of behaving independently, the pairs moved in a synchronized, dance-like pattern—something never predicted before. This suggests a major gap in the classic theory of superconductivity. more... |
