Shalinee Sharma is one of the world''s top experts on math learning, but when she was in school, she sat in the back row, unsure if she could ever master the subject. Many of us buy into the idea that some people are innately good at math and others just won''t ever succeed at it - but it''s not true, and numeracy is as important as literacy when it comes to opening doors in life.
