The
Myth of Ability: Never say 'But I can't do maths!'
Life
Matters with Rebecca Gorman, ABC Radio National
On Wednesday 11/02/2004
For many parents
and children, maths is one of those school subjects that youre
considered either naturally good or bad at: If you excel
we conclude you must have an innate ability with numbers. For those
of us who fail we think our brains are simply not wired
for maths.
