Crows are arguably among the smartest creatures on the planet, possessing some cognitive abilities that rival those of 5- to 7-year-old human children. Now, a new study adds basic geometry to the ...

College students struggle with basic math, post-pandemic. Diego Fonseca is a computer science major who hoped to get into calculus in college but, like many college students today, he is still ...

Hopefully, in the future, scientists can investigate which areas of the crows' brains are helping them with geometry. Birds do not have a cerebral cortex in the same way that humans do.

Average math scores are about how students did in 1990; average reading scores are similar to 2004. “This is a very serious matter,” said Peggy Carr, head of the National Center for Education ...

The math students are taught in kindergarten often progresses no further than basic counting and shapes. In a 2013 study , researcher and University of Colorado Boulder associate professor Mimi Engel ...

Crows May Grasp Basic Geometry: Study Finds the Brainy Birds Can Tell the Difference Between Shapes Scientists tested crows on their ability to recognize “geometric regularity,” a skill ...
