[SIZE="5"][SIZE="5"]Our natural human intelligence starts working on the day we are born, consider our inherited senses, which enable every child to teach itself to speak simply by listening and practicing, we have inherited the ability to copy the sounds of our natural language perfectly. This is perfectly normal human behavior which I describe as “imperceptible learning.†We do not know when or how they are learning, only perfect results prove that they are learning.
There is a second area of imperceptible learning, that is the natural ability the child has to understand the local area it lives in, we all possess the ability to visualise a local map which builds up quite naturally. The third imperceptible learning process is the most practical ability of all. Every child has the natural ability to follow highly detailed physical process`s. These three abilities are at the core of our massive species intelligence. The natural intelligence we need to build perfection in counting and reading when the child is actively learning and quite naturally able to mix imperceptible with reality.
Imperceptible learning takes place quite naturally, we copy language sounds perfectly and imitate any physical process that we are introduced to, this why my physical demonstrations have been developed in order build into the natural kinesthetic memories that link the physical reality of numbers with their meaning in language, written numerals and words. Understanding the meaning of numbers first of all from our fingers in relation to quantity and then the physical addition, subtraction, division and multiplication from using Abacus One and
the abacus one map.
With our natural attention been drawn to it, again in the same manner that we learn to speak and copying perfectly, we learn to imitate and copy Our parents physical activities. It is second nature to us to copy exactly what we can see our parents doing. Every advanced civilisation developed its own ability to calculate and record quantity, the recording of quantity utilised a natural phenomena the ability to store numbers, simply by multiplying them by 10, and recognising any particular 10 and its relationship to 10 digits so it is that we have Egyptian hieroglyphics, and national Abaci , advanced ability in arithmetic understanding gave rise to numbers represented by signs,, sign utilisation in numeracy clearly is advanced hand-in-hand with the ability to turn symbols into words.
Every word we use is a powerful idea in itself.
Natural language is the method we share to give perfect explanation,
Any Abacus illustrates quantity simply by usage of columns representing natures free gift, the decimal system.
Abacus one, and the Abacus One Map are designed with words representing the names of the quantities we require to understand.
In practice a three strand Abacus is sufficient to demonstrate the Abacus: column concept.
Reading One thousand and understanding how we get to 1000 is an enormous mental step, but parents teaching their own children have the ability to take their child on that journey, the Abacus one map is clearly understood as an extension of the Abacus, our natural ability to understand layout, is brought into play, our natural ability to physically understand and copy demonstrations brings us into contact with all the words we need to utilise to represent quantity initially.
To enable you to teach your own child efficiently, I need to teach you quickly how to teach your own child.
One quarter of my adult life has been taken up, in the development of system one for everyone, purely that every parent can ensure the best possible education for their own children simply by showing them repeatedly simple demonstrations utilising physical activity to develop meaning as far as numbers are concerned, when basic arithmetic is clearly understood, the parents understanding regarding teaching their own children is clear to them, so simply building up symbols to represent the meaning of words can be achieved early, quite easily by developing the child's unique memory system whereby we human beings turn signs into sounds, and sounds into meaning.
A 1 Scientific background behind counting, the practical physical demonstrations which will establish the permanent meaning of numbers for all healthy children by naming fingers one to ten initially.
Quoting directly from a new chapter in the work of Stanislas Dehaene the revised edition of
†The Number Senseâ€
the world renowned French Neuroscientist, I am including this to give further evidence regarding early education, especially relating to the future development of neuroscience within contemporary education.
“ Taken from page 246. When we think about numbers or do arithmetic, we do not solely rely on a purified, ethereal, abstract concept of number.
[COLOR="Red"] Our brain immediately links the abstract number to concrete notions of size, location and time. We do not do arithmetic in the abstract.
[/COLOR] Rather, we use brain circuits to accomplish mathematical tasks that also serve to guide our hands and eyes in space-- circuits that are present in the monkey brain, and certainly did not evolve for mathematics, but have been pre-empted and put to use in a different domain.
This is a perfect illustration of the neuronal recycling principle, which I introduced in my recent book reading in the brain. I posit that recent human inventions including letters and numbers and all the concepts of mathematics, have to find their niche in a human brain that did not evolve to accommodate them.
Taken from page 268. In brief, during the preschool years, the establishment of a two-way dialogue between our number sense and our counting system leads to a very closely integrated and improved system, where each symbol is automatically attached to an increasingly precise meaning. We are only now beginning to understand how this change occurs at the brain level. After studying how monkey neurons encode the numerosity of sets of dots.â€

The Conclusion
As David and Ann Premac note. â€a Theory of education could only be derived from understanding the mind that is to be educatedâ€. Indeed we now possess a refined understanding of the budding mathematicians mind.
Great strides have been made in our understanding of how arithmetic is implanted in the brain. Applications of cognitive neuroscience to education are no longer “a Bridge too farâ€. On the contrary, many conceptual and empirical research methods are now available. Innovative educational programs can be introduced, and we have all the tools in hand to study their impact on children`s brains and minds.
The classroom should be our next laboratory.
THE CLASSROOM SHOULD BE OUR NEXT LABORATORY.
Every Scientific statement has to proven.
Over the last decade great strides have been made in understanding just how the brain works, it has been a great privilege for me to read the works and experiment `s of scientists with extraordinary abilities and immense patience in carrying out the most detailed research.
Considering all the articles on neuroscience that I have read over the last fifteen years, my regard for Stanislas Dehaene, is at the highest level. I believe that his previous mathematical studies have assisted his research enormously, and that the knowledge built up about mathematical understanding has led to equally valuable lessons regarding reading ability and observations within our species capabilities. We were not utilising reading and counting formally when the majority of our evolution was taking place, understanding this and utilising the brain functions we have has guided me to producing a system of early education which I consider to be virtually fool proof, regarding the abilities of all healthy children to count perfectly and read quickly when we teach them properly.
Understanding system one, utilising it within one's own family, utilising it as a starting point in nursery schools, in kindergarten`s, in reception classes in our primary schools, alongside general assistance where children have failed to be taught previously , system one taught methodically provides an easily understood systematic method for normal adults to adopt simply by taking only one days qualified demonstration, or reading and trialing themselves

NIH-funded study also finds math disabled students fail to catch up to classmates
Children who start elementary school with difficulty associating small exact quantities of items with the printed numerals that represent those quantities are more likely to develop a math-related learning disability than are their peers, according to a study supported by the National Institutes of Health.
The children in the study who appeared to have difficulty grasping the fundamental concept of exact numerical quantities-- that the printed numeral 3, for example, represents three dots on a page-- went on to be diagnosed with math learning disability by fifth grade.
