This image provided by the University of Missouri shows an illustration part of a University of Missouri study that examined first-graders’ "number system knowledge." That’s how well they understand ...

Implementing seasonal math strategies in the fall is a simple yet powerful way to build early mathematical understanding.

A first-of-its kind study using the Internet to collect data from more than 10,000 study subjects ages 11 to 85 found that humans' inborn "number sense" improves during school years, declines during ...

A new study published today in the journal Child Development (e-publication ahead of print) finds that having a poor "gut sense" of numbers can lead to a mathematical learning disability and ...

A new study suggests that the strength of an infant's innate sense of numerical quantities can be predictive of that child's mathematical abilities three years later. Babies who are good at telling ...

Math doesn’t add up for some kids, and a weak number sense may be partly to blame. An evolutionarily ancient ability to estimate quantities takes a big hit in children with severe, ...

Even 6-month-old babies can rapidly estimate approximate numbers of items without counting. But surprisingly, an apparently inborn sense for numbers doesn’t top out until around age 30. Number sense ...

A child’s ability to understand and manipulate sets of numbers in 1st grade predicts how well he or she will succeed in the math required both in secondary school and for day-to-day living, according ...

Imagine you’re a hunter-killer robot, hovering over the broken wasteland that used to be the world of men. You have surprised a group of biologicals in an act of petty insurrection, and they have ...

Having a poor "gut sense" of numbers can lead to a mathematical learning disability and difficulty in achieving basic math proficiency. This inaccurate number sense is just one cause of math learning ...
