This video demonstrates how the eye tracks motion in such a way that determining whether an object is accelerating is very difficult. So, we need another way to measure motion.

Mathematics which is proof-orientated develops pupils' ability to reason logically and deepens their understanding of mathematical concepts. The lesson plans and class discussions about proof described in this book help teachers to embed proof into all aspects of mathematics. At KS2 pupils learn about proof through...

Here is the story of the puzzle, one of...

These interesting and varied problems are intended to test your thinking powers and do not need specific 'book learning'. Just an interest in ideas mathematical and an open mind. There is a section of 'hints' which help without giving away the solution and a further section of 'solutions' for the truly desperate....

This video demonstrates how a theory cannot be proved.  Theories at best allow observations to be explained at that time, but there may be other explanations still to be discovered. The scientific method is rigorous in attempting to disprove a theory. Only when we fail to disprove our theories do we say we have...
