Can YOU tell which maths terms are real and which are made up?

Researchers from University College London showed teenagers 16 maths terms - including three that were fake.

Boys were significantly more likely than girls to claim they had heard these nonsense terms often and understood them well.

Researchers looked at more than 40,000 teenagers across nine English -speaking countries, including England , Wales , Scotland and Ireland .

Those who exaggerated their maths ability were also more likely to persevere in tasks.
