Although most scholars say learning math algorithms like regrouping in addition are essential, some worry that schools don't do enough to support the concepts undergirding these common procedures.

At issue was an algorithm called Q* (pronounced “Q-star”), which has allegedly been shown to solve certain grade-school-level math problems that it hasn’t seen before.

Consider the standard algorithm for multidigit addition and subtraction, which makes its appearance in Grade 4 of the Common Core math standards.

A newly developed machine learning algorithm is taking on math problems that have vexed experts for decades.
