We humans have a wide range of abilities that help us perceive and analyze mathematical content. We perceive abstract notions not just through seeing but also by hearing, by feeling, by our sense of body motion and position.

A whole-mind approach to mathematical thinking is vastly more effective than the common approach that manipulates only symbols.
