Like a lot of high school students, Kevin Tran loves superheroes, though perhaps for different reasons than his classmates. They're all insanely smart. In their regular jobs they're engineers, they're scientists, said Tran, 17. And you can't do any of those things without math. Tran also loves math. This summer, he studied calculus five hours a day with other high schoolers in a program at Northeastern University. But Tran and his friends are not the norm. Many Americans joke about how bad they are at math, and already abysmal scores on standardized math tests are falling even further. The nation needs people who are good at math, employers say, in the same way motion picture mortals need superheroes. They say America's poor math performance isn't funny. It's a threat to the nation's global economic competitiveness and national security. The advances in technology that are going to drive where the world goes in the next 50 years are going to come from other countries, because they

India is among the source countries for qualified mathematics and science teachers being lured with international relocation payments of GBP 10,000 as part of an overseas drive to fill classroom vacancies in England, according to a UK media report on Saturday. Hundreds of maths, science and language teachers will be brought to the UK from countries such as India and Nigeria this year, with plans to expand recruitment schemes to other countries and subjects, The Times' newspaper said. The International Relocation Payments (IRP), being run as a pilot in the 2023 to 2024 academic year, is applicable to overseas teachers with a job offer in the UK and covers their cost of visas, immigration health surcharge and other relocation expenses. UK officials reportedly expect between 300 and 400 teachers to get the IRPs in the coming academic year and if it proves a success in attracting overseas staff, the scheme could be extended to other subjects. In an effort to boost the number of teacher

Role of technology comes into play as educators look for fun ways to combat a perennial fear

Prime Minister Rishi Sunak on Monday announced a new experts-led review into how to ensure all pupils in England study some form of mathematics up to the age of 18 as part of his strategy to change an anti-maths mindset that is holding the country back. Delivering a speech at the London Screen Academy, Sunak lamented that it was socially acceptable to make jokes about not being able to do maths. He pointed out that for his plan to grow the UK economy in the long term, the UK simply cannot allow poor numeracy to cost the economy tens of billions a year. We say things like: Oh, maths, I can't do that, it's not for me' and everyone laughs. But we'd never make a joke like that about not being able to read. So we've got to change this anti-maths mindset, said Sunak. We've got to start prizing numeracy for what it is a key skill every bit as essential as reading. So my campaign to transform our national approach to maths is not nice to have. It's about changing how we value maths in th

Mathematics is like a language: it may describe real things in the world, but it doesn't "exist" outside the minds of the people who use it

Sport and maths are very different activities, but some aspects of the mindset required to be successful in maths or sport can certainly help you to achieve success in the other.
