Narrated by Digital Voice Mike G

This audiobook is narrated by a digital voice.

By reading this summary, you will discover how your brain "does math".

You will also discover:

• that animals also have an innate sense of numbers;
• that babies have mathematical abilities from birth;
• that researchers have been able to identify the areas of the brain involved in mathematical tasks;
• how learning reinforces your innate abilities;
• that learning must be based on how the brain works.

Year after year, studies on children's mathematical abilities are alarming. Many students perform poorly in mathematics because "they are not mathematicians". Yet experimental psychology, supported by imaging techniques and neuroscience, has shown that all humans are endowed with an innate mathematical knowledge. It is education that then brings out differences in performance. Are you ready to know how the brain works to better understand its difficulties?
