Preschoolers and Algebra

            Recently researches of Johns Hopkins Krieger School of Arts and Sciences found out that basic algebra can be done by preschoolers and kindergarteners without haven any previous contact with maths, some are just learning to count. So, according to this research we can say that algebra is some kind of instinct.

            It's interesting because, in our opinion, we can use this ability to make children to understand better this subject that results, in most of the cases, very difficult to understand. If we can do basic algebra at 5 years old, can you imagine the results that we would get if we promote his study from childhood?

            What really impressed me, apart from this instinctively use of Algebra, it’s that we can see this flair in some animal too.
