Working 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, ...

Google Docs is known as the free, browser-based alternative to Microsoft Word. The platform allows users to collaborate in real time, add and reply to comments, and more. One lesser-known capability ...

Researchers tested a research-based intervention with English learners with math difficulty. The intervention proved to boost comprehension and help students synthesize and visualize information, ...

A Rochester Institute of Technology Ph.D. student was part of a team of researchers that settled a 90-year-old math problem called Keller’s conjecture. David Narváez, a computing and information ...

A new study from the University of Kansas explores the role of working memory in word problem-solving for students with and without math difficulties. Researchers found that using interventions to ...

This study used modified schema-based instruction (MSBI) to teach mathematical word problem solving to three students with ASD in fifth and sixth grade. Following explicit strategy instruction, the ...

The last dimension of Keller's conjecture has been proven using a computer algorithm. The conjecture involves the way hypercubes in different dimensions share sides when tiled. The proof is ...

It is a persistent challenge to meet the academic needs of students with emotional and behavioral disorders (EBD) particularly in the area of math word problems. This study used a multiple-baseline ...
