Why is useless to teach math

If you have my entire adult life there are problems with addition and subtraction, then most likely you just did not get on the nature of mathematical brain. Scientists have found that a penchant for mathematics is formed in the womb .

The fact that some people have   mathematical mind And some - typical humanists, known to many. But there was always considered to be the result of this training and education. Like, would teach a child from an early age to put blocks, he would become a new Leibniz. After all, there are also family dynasties mathematicians.

In fact, the mathematical ability as well as their absence, does not depend on your environment in childhood learning and persistence parents. American psychologists at Johns Hopkins University in Baltimore, decided to check availability mathematical mindset   the youngest children, who because of their age is still impossible to teach this science.

In the sphere of attention of scientists put 200 children aged four years. All of them have shown a screen that lights up a lot of blue and yellow dots. Children were asked what color pixels, in their opinion, is burning more. Kids were allowed to redraw points on paper to then counting them. The researchers then tested the ability of children to multiplication and learned from their parents the amount of vocabulary kids as language and numerical skills, as is commonly believed, linked by a common intellectual level.

It turned out that the children who most successfully determined number of points, so it is better to cope with all the problems involving multiplication. Scientists attribute this to the fact that the tendency to the figures, some children already present even before the beginning of the learning process. So kids, and should subsequently lean on Mathematics .
