Poor in maths? Blame it on your parents.

Parents who excel at maths may give birth to children who are also good at the subject, a study by researchers at University of Pittsburgh in the US shows.

The study explored inter-generational transmission- the concept of parental influence on an offspring's behaviour or psychology- in mathematics capabilities.

"our findings suggest an intuitive sense for numbers has been passed down- knowingly or unknowingly- from parent to child. Meaning, essentially, the maths skill of parents tend to 'rub off' on their children,'' said lead researcher Melissa E Libertus, an assistant professor at the university's learning R&D centre.

Researchers found that the performance levels for early school-aged children on standardised mathematics tests could be reliably predicted by their parent's performance on similar examinations.

that means my child is gonna be super intelligent in mathematics :)

#9.57 pm #wed #2Feb2016 You can never understand what life actually is. Everyday is just another colour on the canvas of your life. People come & go. They will benefit from you and then will bypass you. Let them do it. Because in that way they will achieve a mental satisfaction, which exactly is not correct. The biggest thing with which you can kill someone is your smile. Don't underrate your smile. Because after all this is the weapon with which you can conquer anyone. But you must not think of that. Because this weapon works automatically! Kill them with their own thinking. Do again & again what makes you feel good. Let them take you as a stupid person & do your work silently,. Let the lights of your work make sound(this may sound insane on scientific level!).   #spreadPeace                                                     ...
