Could Play Boost Students’ Math Performance?

ED Surge

Its flexible, willingly-chosen and yes, fun. In early education, where Clements specializes, he usually constructs intentional lessons, and then sets up the classroom so that as students are playing, they bump into mathematics at every turn. Some research has even suggested it has the ability to reduce socioeconomic inequality.

Even beyond Physics: Introducing Multicomputation as a Fourth General Paradigm for Theoretical Science

Stephen Wolfram

One might have thought it was already exciting enough for our Physics Project to be showing a path to a fundamental theory of physics and a fundamental description of how our physical universe works. Part of what this achieves is to generalize beyond traditional mathematics the kind of constructs that can appear in models.

Modelling minds: can computers mimic human intelligence?

Futurum

For example, computers can perform thousands of calculations per second, meaning they can solve some mathematical problems far more quickly and accurately than humans. Understanding how the human brain functions so efficiently and flexibly remains one of the greatest mysteries of science. But does this mean they are smarter than us?
