ABSTRACT

These are things that the human brain finds difficult.We use our innate mathematical understanding in our everyday lives to cross the street or to cook a meal, but it requires a different kind of thinking to apply our natural instincts or abilities to things that do not exist. When a young child holds a sweet or a toy in each hand, the objects are real and tangible. If you watch a very young child wrestling with this concept of two and more you will see him or her shifting the objects from hand to hand – putting one down, picking up another, putting them in the other hand and generally contriving to put more than two objects into two hands.
