According to a new study which found that maths test scores increased after musical activity. This includes singing, playing instruments, composing and just listening. Researchers say music makes more enjoyable and reduce fear and anxiety.
1, Want to be better at mathematics? Try taking up music
This headline is sugguesting that if you want to improve your mathematics, you should take up music. Take up is the phrasal verb which has a lot of meanings. Here it means to start something new like a hobby or an activity. So the headline is saying take up music, meaning start doing a music - related activity, which will help you with your maths.
2, Adding music to the equation leds to better math scores for kids
This headline explains that music is good for improving children's ability at mathematics. The equation in this headline doesn't meaan that kind of complex mathematical thing, and it just means a complex situation. And it's complicated for a lot of people and by adding music to an extra element to an already complex situation. And we can think of some other examples that aren't related to maths. For example, dealing with climate change is a complex equation for goverments because they want businesses to be happy, but they also have to follow green policies. And if you're starting a business, you want to make as much money as you can. You also want to really please your customers so you need the right amount of staff. That's a difficult equation to work out.
3, Children Do Much Better in Math When Music is Added to the Lesson; New Study
Do better means improve your performance. This headline is saying that children will do better - improve at maths- if they do some kind of music which are related activity. I introduce other examples. I support a football team, which is really bad - in the lowest division of English football. They could 'do better'. They could improve. We also can use this to talk about someone's health. So my antie wasn't very well, but noe she's doing better -she's improving. We should mention that in the headline it's do much better. You can also say 'do a lot better' or 'do significantly better'.
