You scrambled up a Rubik's cube, and now you want to put it back in order. What sequence of moves should you make?

Algebra scores in the Philadelphia School District dropped last year, so teachers are being offered extra training from Penn.

That year, French mathematician Évariste Galois finally illustrated why this was such a problem—the underlying mathematical symmetry in the established methods for lower-order polynomials simply ...

Passing algebra is a stumbling block for many students, but it’s a high school graduation requirement in many states. 9th ...

Polynomials above 4 degrees have a shiny new target on their back.

“You gotta settle down and get this done.” Not all eighth graders are ready for the abstract concepts — like variables, linear functions, slope — that come with Algebra I, some experts and teachers ...

Both approaches rely on mathematical functions like squaring ... "This is a dramatic revision of a basic chapter in algebra." Even quintics—a degree five polynomial—now have solutions ...

The concepts and skills taught in Algebra 1 – solving for different variables, graphing functions, etc. – can be fairly complex at first. Before taking Algebra 1, there are several ...
