2. In pairs, look at the title and have a quick read of the text below.
Can you infer what the text is about?
Underline in the text the phrases and words that can help you infer its main
topic.
Math for Babies
Doing math is one of our human skills. We can learn the abstract concept of a number
and represent this concept symbolically (2, 3, 4), and we can use those symbols to
understand more complex abstractions (2*3^4).
The researchers suggest that humans have an innate sense of number, or, as cognitive
scientists call it, an “approximate number system”.
This ability to learn the abstract concept of numbers helps us develop other skills,
generally including intelligence, language ability, and educational experiences.
