The goal of the current study was to investigate the role of executive functions in mathematical creativity. The sample included 278 primary school children (ages 8–13). Two models were compared: the starting model tested whether executive functions (shifting, updating, and inhibition), domain-general creativity, and mathematical ability directly predicted mathematical creativity. The second model, which fitted the data best, included the additional assumption that updating influences mathematical creativity indirectly through mathematical ability and domain-general creativity. Updating was positively related to mathematical creativity. Additionally, updating was positively related to mathematical ability and domain-general creativity. Inhibition, shifting, domain-general creativity and mathematical ability did not have a significant contribution to either model but did positively correlate with mathematical creativity. This study reports the first empirical evidence that updating is a predictor of mathematical creativity in primary school children and demonstrates that creativity is a higher order cognitive process, activating a variety of cognitive abilities.

This article considers some of the ways in which computers and appropriate software can be used to encourage children to use language purposefully. It discusses the range of computer software that is available for Primary School children and suggests ways of incorporating such software into the various subject areas. While highlighting the valuable contribution that computers can make to the teaching and learning process in schools, the article stresses the need for the planned integration of computers and computer software into an overall curriculum strategy which has an evident cohesiveness and a continuity. The surest means by which children are enabled to master their mother tongue is by exploiting the process of discovery through language in all its uses. A Language for Life
