Figure 2: Five-year-old children’s performance on approximate addition, subtraction and comparison problems. What processes underlie children’s symbolic approximate arithmetic? We first considered ...

Republicans faced mockery in the last few years for inventing their own words. Rep. Paul Ryan did them one better. He invented his own math. An hour after its birth, his budget was hailed as a ...

MELBOURNE, Australia (CNN) - Does math give you trouble? Here's some encouragement: Despite their miniature brains, a new study says honeybees can learn basic arithmetic. If they can do it, so can you ...

Subtraction is a fundamental math skill that kids learn early in their academic journey. While it's a crucial building block for more complex arithmetic, the process of "taking away" can sometimes ...

Anyone who has seen a honeycomb knows bees can understand geometry, but now there is proof their tiny brains are also capable of learning basic arithmetic — and it could have implications for AI ...

It was already known that bees could grasp the concept of zero. However, it appears they are also capable of performing basic addition and subtraction.

The confusion (likely intentional) boiled down to a discrepancy between the math rules used in grade school and in high school. By Steven Strogatz Recently I wrote about a math equation that had ...
