How children think about maths and time
Doughnuts today or tomorrow? Is seven bigger than three? How four-year-olds understand time and numbers.
Claudia Hammond explores how children think with two psychologists; Dr Victoria Simms from Ulster University who researches how children’s understanding of maths develops and professor Teresa McCormack from Queens University Belfast who researches how children understand time.
The discussion was recorded in front of an audience at the Northern Ireland Science Festival in February 2020.
