I've been spending the past few months researching the cognitive and neural underpinnings of mathematics, as well as their implications for math education. What follows is a brief list of some of the more accessible articles I have found:
- http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cognitive_science_of_mathematics
- http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Numerical_cognition
These are short, non-technical Wikipedia articles on the cognitive science of math and on numerical cognition. They both serve as a good introduction.
