The book is divided into three parts.

The first part focuses on the early development of mathematical abilities, from infancy to preschool.
The second part examines the development of mathematical abilities during the school years.
The third part explores the neural and cognitive processes involved in mathematical thinking in adults.

Part 1: The Early Development of Mathematical Abilities

The first part of the book focuses on the early development of mathematical abilities, from infancy to preschool.

This part of the book reviews the research on the development of number sense, spatial reasoning, and problem-solving skills in infants and young children.

The authors also discuss the role of play and language in the development of mathematical abilities.

Part 2: The Development of Mathematical Abilities During the School Years

The second part of the book examines the development of mathematical abilities during the school years.

This part of the book reviews the research on the development of arithmetic skills, algebraic skills, and geometric skills in children and adolescents.

The authors also discuss the role of instruction and practice in the development of mathematical abilities.

Part 3: The Neural and Cognitive Processes Involved in Mathematical Thinking in Adults

The third part of the book explores the neural and cognitive processes involved in mathematical thinking in adults.

This part of the book reviews the research on the brain areas involved in mathematical thinking, the cognitive processes involved in mathematical problem-solving, and the relationship between mathematical ability and other cognitive abilities.

The Mathematical Brain Across the Lifespan is a comprehensive and up-to-date overview of the development of mathematical abilities, from infancy to adulthood.

The book is a valuable resource for researchers, educators, and anyone interested in the development of mathematical thinking.
