Neurobiology of the mathematical brain

Do executive functions and visuospatial processing influence math skills?

Description

Explore how executive functions and visuospatial skills impact mathematical learning, and discover evidence-based strategies to enhance learning.

Objectives

Understand the development of the mathematical brain from a neurobiological perspective.
Identify the core cognitive skills involved in math learning: executive functions, visuospatial processing, and symbolic number processing.
Recognize cognitive and neurological differences in children with mathematical learning difficulties.
Analyze the most recent scientific evidence on effective math interventions.
Translate findings from cognitive neuroscience into practical teaching strategies.

Who is it for?

For those who work with children and want to understand how the brain learns mathematics.

👉 Ideal for: educational psychologists, teachers, speech therapists, neuropsychologists, and education specialists seeking strategies to stimulate executive functions and spatial vision from infancy.

🧠 If you've ever wondered:

"Why do some children struggle with numbers?"
"How can spatial vision be trained in the classroom?"
"What role does the brain play in mathematical thinking?"

Then this Masterclass is for you.
