Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Siegler's research has shown that children gradually acquire math knowledge and strategies, rather than suddenly grasping the logic of the number system or already understanding all they need to know about math by age 3. The idea that children do not understand math until adolescence is also refuted by Siegler's studies.
