Moments of Brilliance?

Ok, maybe not brilliance, but brightness at least. Math is not Demi's strong point, but occasionally while doing homework, she seems to "get it." There's that moment of brightness. At least the answers come a bit more quickly and naturally. Rarely and for a very short burst. But they come.

I wonder where they come from? How do these moments of understanding happen?

Just today, I spoke to her resource (aka special ed) teacher who said she just doesn't get numbers. I guess she hasn't yet been dazzled by one of Dem's "moments of brilliance." While I recognize that's true most of the time, why does she get it sometimes and not others. It would be nice to know...
