Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C or D on your answer sheet

to indicate the correct answer to each of the questions.

People appear to be born to compute The numerical skills of children develop soearly-and so inexorably that it is easy to imagine an internal clock of mathematicalmaturity guiding their growth Not long after learning to walk and talk, they can setthe table with impressive accuracy -one plate, one knife, one spoon, one fork, for each

of the five chairs Soon they are capable of noting that they have placed five knives,spoons and forks on the table and, a bit later, that this amounts to fifteen pieces ofsilverware Having thus mastered addition, they move on to subtraction It seemsalmost reasonable to expect that if a child were secluded on a desert island at birth andretrieved seven years later, he or she could enter a second-grade mathematics classwithout any serious problems of intellectual adjustment

Of course, the truth is not so simple This century, the work of cognitive psychologistshas

illuminated the subtle forms of daily learning on which intellectual progress depends.

Children were observed as they slowly grasped or, as the case might be, bumped intoconcepts that adults take for granted, as they refused, for instance, to concede thatquantity is unchanged as water Tours from a short stout glass into a tall thin one

Psychologists have since demonstrated that young children, asked to count the pencils

in a pile, readily report the number of blue or red pencils, but must be coaxed intofinding the total

Such studies have suggested that the rudiments of mathematics are mastered graduallyand with effort They have also suggested that the very concept of abstract numbersthe idea of a oneness, a twoness, a threeness that applies to any class of objects - is aprerequisite for doing anything more mathematically demanding than setting a tableand is itself far from innate
