The phrase "a mathematics problem" is correct and usable in written English.
It can be used when referring to a specific problem or question related to the field of mathematics.
Example: "The teacher assigned a mathematics problem for the students to solve during class."
Alternatives: "a math problem" or "a mathematical question".
Were one of my students to submit a mathematics problem set that was obviously copied, I would not accept the excuse that it was prepared by an anonymous writer hired for that purpose.
All students who participated in the current study considered modelling problems out of mathematics domain, but after intervention their attitude toward mathematical modelling problems was changed dramatically so that almost all students in experimental group recognized modelling problems as a mathematics problem and they were interesting to solve modelling problem.
In one scenario, the teacher demonstrated as an example how to solve a mathematics problem on the board, and then assigned students a practice problem very similar to the one demonstrated but with different numbers.
As the following example demonstrates, the TA was often instrumental in keeping students focused on the question they were trying to answer as opposed to treating the task like a mathematics problem (field notes, 11/7/2008).
Chang et al. (2012) developed game-based problem-solving modules in a mathematics problem-posing system and investigated the effects of the problem-posing system on students' abilities to pose and solve problems.
Findings from an initial study on the availability of hints in a mathematics problem-solving activity showed that early access to on-demand hints were linked to lack of performance improvements and longer completion times in students answering problems for summer work.
Three Indian computer scientists have solved a longstanding mathematics problem by devising a way for a computer to tell quickly and definitively whether a number is prime -- that is, whether it is evenly divisible only by itself and 1. Prime numbers play a crucial role in cryptography, so devising fast ways to identify them is important.
These include an analytic essay, a social studies research paper, a science experiment, and an applied mathematics problem.
A typical session of SHINE starts with the girls tackling a challenging mathematics problem with their mentors nearby to coach them.
Its unconditionally perfect security relies on a discrete mathematics problem classified as DistNP-Complete under the average-case analysis, the so-called distributional matrix representability problem.
Choosing the greenest form of transport is like solving a complicated mathematics problem: the number of passengers, the type of fuel, the length of trip and the time of travel are all variables in the equation of calculating a traveller's carbon footprint.
