The frontal lobes and intraparietal sulci are involved in learning new arithmetic facts whilst using previously learned facts involves the left angular gyrus. The authors suggest that the intervention or any maths education by the school should serve to form the link between brain and experience whilst parents should be informed of the support and coping strategies they can provide their child with that they may use in the classroom and day-to-day encounters with numbers.
