New ActivityThe latest activity to be updated on this site is called "Flowchart Bills" (Calculate bill totals by following the instructions given in the form of a flow chart.). So far this activity has been accessed 12731 times and 989 people have earned a Transum Trophy for completing it. 
Learning how to calculate bill totals using a flowchart is an important topic for pupils to learn in maths for several reasons. Firstly, it helps develop problem-solving skills by breaking down complex calculations into smaller, more manageable steps. This trains pupils to think logically and analytically, which are key skills not only in maths but also in many other areas of life. Featured ActivityRoman Numerals Jigsaw This is a wonderful activity for someone who does not know Roman numerals. By completing the activity an understanding of the symbols develops and a great sense of achievement is enjoyed. Recent News:Mathematical proof: Five satellites needed for precise navigationWhat is the shortest route to the next stop or the agreed meeting point? Global positioning systems (GPS) have become a routine part of everyday life for most people. Until now, however, the minimum number of GPS satellites needed to determine the exact position of a mobile phone or other navigation device has remained a matter of conjecture. Researchers have now proved that a precise location can be determined in most cases with five or more satellites. At present, we can generally be sure of having contact to only four satellites. more... Mathematicians model a puzzling breakdown in cooperative behaviorA model developed by evolutionary mathematicians shows that as conditions for cooperation improve between two species, mutually beneficial behavior can unexpectedly become unbalanced. Cooperative behavior pools in one species, the other consumes the spoils. more... Research cracks the autism code, making the neurodivergent brain visibleA researcher's mathematical modeling approach for brain imaging analysis reveals links between genes, brain structure and autism. more... Cold math, hot topic: Sea ice thermal conductivityResearchers developed a mathematical model showing how brine movement in sea ice enhances heat transfer, potentially improving climate change predictions for polar regions. more... Think fast -- or not: Mathematics behind decision makingNew research explains the mathematics behind how initial predispositions and additional information affect decision making. more... Those with the biggest biases choose first, according to new math studyIn a new study, researchers created a sort of simulated voting booth -- a space where people, or mathematical 'agents,' with various biases could deliberate over decisions. The results may help to reveal the mathematics of how the human brain acts when it needs to make a choice. more...
