Connecting mathematical creativity to mathematical ability
ZDM - International Journal on Mathematics Education, 2012This study aims to investigate whether there is a relationship between mathematical ability and mathematical creativity, and to examine the structure of this relationship. Furthermore, in order to validate the relationship between the two constructs, we will trace groups of students that differ across mathematical ability and investigate the ...

Comparison of Ability in Mathematics
Psychological Reports, 197393 college students estimated how they compared with their classmates in three abilities: mathematics, reading, and creative thinking. It was hypothesized and found that Ss rank themselves least favorably on ability in mathematics. A model of social-comparison processes is presented as a tentative explanation for this finding and a stimulus for further

A Study of Mathematical Abilities
The American Mathematical Monthly, 1962Recent efforts to improve the mathematics curriculum in our schools have led to a flood of new texts and new programs and have, of course, raised the question of how good these are. Opinions are plentiful and strongly held, but little factunJ evidence is at hand.

Abstract Monkeys are mathematicians, albeit imprecise ones. Comparative research has illustrated that monkeys use quantitative and numerical information, and this chapter outlines many of those findings. We begin with an historical summary of work with primates in assessing the role that number plays in these animals’ lives.

The structure of mathematical ability
British Journal of Psychology, 1978A ‘mathematics’ test of 69 items was administered to 255 craft and technician students in the 17–19 age range. The item/item correlations were analysed using both a principal components and a maximum‐likelihood method. After varimax rotation, the same structure emerged from both analyses.

Students' Mathematical Problem-Solving Ability Based on Initial Mathematics Ability
Himalayan Journal of Education and LiteratureProblem-solving ability is one of the mathematical abilities of the current century. This research aims to describe the mathematical problem-solving abilities of SMA/MA students based on the initial mathematics ability category. This research is qualitative research with a case study design involving 2 students each with high, medium and low initial ...

Ability stereotyping in mathematics
Educational Studies in Mathematics, 1987Ability is a concept central to the current practice of mathematics teaching. However, the widespread view of mathematics learning as an ordered progression through a hierarchy of knowledge and skill, mediated by the stable cognitive capability of the individual pupil, can be sustained only as a gross global model, and is of limited value in describing

Are Mathematical Abilities Inborn?
Soviet Psychology and Psychiatry, 1965It happens that I had already written these notes before I read the writings of psychologists devoted to mathematical abilities as such. Unfortunately, at the time when the notes were put together, much seemed unclear to me, including the answer to the question posed in my title.
