Speaker:
Dr. Darko Odic, Associate Professor in the Department of Psychology at UBC.
Topic:
Early math education
Description:
As humans, there are individual differences in how quickly we understand new information and even learn new skills. This shows early in our development as children. The most common example is math. Why are some children so quick to grasp math concepts while others still struggle after years of formal education? What innate abilities do children have that may influence their ability to learn complex subjects like math?
In this Q&A session, Dr. Odic from the Centre for Cognitive Development will be answering all your questions about early math education.
