Let's think...
If Maths was an invention, that means that someone had made up this thing called "Maths" sure, the word Maths is an invention because someone made it up.
If it was the calculating, the problems, the worded problems and stuff that you actually DO in the subject in Maths an invention? Did someone make it up? Well yes, because Maths is actually a subject/topic which things like calculations, problem solving, algebra is all under this subject or topic called Maths. Who invented the thing called "algebra" we did! Because we made a way to figure out things in the world, so that means that we, humans, invented Maths.
I asked my mum and here's what she said.
My mum thought it would be a discovery because they way you do maths, like the calculating and stuff has been around for a while, and it fits more into the discovery category.
What do you think? Is Maths an invention? or a discovery?
