“The brain … never evolved for complex arithmetic. Its architecture, selected for survival in a probabilistic world, explains why we make so many errors during mental calculation.” Going to use this in math class when I tell students to write stuff down!!

I understand that these things have to be studied in order to be understood, but do people not realize how much work on a problem is done unconsciously? I always say I need to steep on an idea/problem. Sit in it for a while. Let my brain work it out and return to it in a little while. I don’t know the mechanics of it, but I understand that there is a lot going on.
