How do we learn basic math?
It would seem that while that it a common idea base, with a new study that might change. The study is to bring about a better understanding of how we learn math initially so that we can establish a better understanding on how to learn it properly. It is certain that more research is needed but there is hope that with this research other learning difficulties can be identified.

One idea that challenges the “sense of numbers” theory is the “sense of magnitude” theory, which is the ability to understand density and size—area and perimeter.
"Key Takeaways:
1
New research is challenging the idea that we are born with a basic sense of numbers that improves with age.
2
Research shows that language ability and a “sense of magnitude” are also important for learning math.
3
Researchers hope that by understanding how we learn math, they can develop ways of diagnosing math learning disorders like dyscalculia earlier and help prevent those children from falling behind.
