In last year’s AMC 8/Mathcounts Spring Course about geometry, what we comprehensively presented fully covered all the topics of geometry that appeared in the 2024 AMC 8 test. All geometry problems on the 2024 AMC 8 were the same as or very similar to the typical examples demonstrated in ou...

A math word problem is a mathematical exercise (such as in a textbook, worksheet, or exam) where significant background information on the problem is presented in ordinary language rather than in mathematical notation. As most word problems involve a nar
The proof of FLT is itself another exciting story, a 7-year lonely task on the attic top of his Cambridge house, nobody in the world knew anything about it, until the very day when Prof Wiles gave a seemingly unrelated lecture which ended with his announcement: FLT is finally proved. Th...

How to Solve Projectile Motion Problems in One or Two Lines June 8, 2021 / 1 Comment Introduction We show how one can solve most if not all, introductory-level projectile motion problems in one or maybe two lines. To this end, we forgo… ...
We find that even the largest transformer models fail to achieve high test performance, despite the conceptual simplicity of this problem distribution. Dataset Details GSM8K consists of 8.5K high quality grade school math problems created by human problem writers. We segmented these into 7.5K ...
and the speed of light , dimensional analysis is already sufficient to deduce that the relationship must be of the form for some dimensionless absolute constant ; the only remaining task is then to work out the constant of proportionality , which requires physical arguments beyond that provided by...
The performance task of the design should have moderate difficulty. When feedback, we can take full advantage of the performance differences between students. We can make the students thinking collide and influence with each other using the form of discussion and proper conduct of teachers. In ...
In three studies, fit predicted greater performance on math problems. Fit also predicted greater use of tutorials after answering problems incorrectly, and choosing to work on problems framed in the service of students' beliefs. Results highlight the potential power for strengthening math motivation ...
