A surprising brain difference may explain why some kids struggle with math
ScienceDaily reports that Stanford researchers found children who persistently struggle with math may have underlying differences in how their brains manage problem-solving strategies. According to the piece, children with developmental dyscalculia were slower to switch strategies, less responsive to changes in difficulty, and less able to improve their approach over time. The researchers linked these difficulties to distinct patterns of brain activity, which the outlet says could predict certain math-related abilities.
