Deep Thinking with Dr. Steven Stolz · Prof. Dor Abrahamson: Learning Is in the Body: How Movement Shapes the Mathematical Mind | EPS 020 · 23 Jun 2026 podcast

This is a good time now to move towards a little bit uh around embodiment.

And you mentioned before the three plus two, you know, you reduce to, you know, like fingers.

I have three fingers and then I have two fingers and I kinda put them together.

And it's interesting that you gave that example.

Would you would would that is that a fair example to say the embodied component here, particularly with mathematical concepts and so on and so forth?

Is is that a simplistic way of viewing what you mean by how embodiment can

work in mathematical learning.

Extremely complicated like just the just the simple operation of three plus two.

Everyone thinks that's very simple and basic, but it's extremely complicated what sits behind that.

Um and by extension, any operation, subtraction, multiplication, division, like you said before, they're the main operations we're familiar with, but they are extremely complicated.

So am I right in thinking that without a strong foundation from a young age?

Forget about it when you become an adolescent or beyond that, or are you saying a little bit more than that?

It's not over Red Rover, you know, if I haven't had those foundations from a young kid.

Are you saying that give up on mathematical learning in adolescence or you're not saying that at all?

Well no, I mean it makes sense because you think about it from a very young age, your hands represent a number line, don't they?

And you can see young children.

I got a young I got young children, and you can see them initially when they're uncoming to understand numbers and use the operation to use the example we've had before about three plus two.

You can go you can see them, you know, count on their fingers.

One, two, three, and then I have
