What Is Mathematics?
Mathematician Colia once said, what is mathematics? Mathematics is problem-solving, which is not familiar with the kinds of questions to the transformation of the familiar kinds of questions. As a math teacher, problem-solving ability is very important. Many schools in the selection of teachers, we need a few more questions to examine the object to do, as an important criterion for hiring teachers. As students, the level of problem-solving ability, a direct impact on test scores.
Many kinds of questions teachers attached great importance to teaching, the exercises are divided into various sections of several kinds of questions, requiring students to learn well the various kinds of questions of the problem-solving routines. Worse still, when finished a typical Example, require students to be able to recite memory. When students ask the teachers how to learn mathematics, the “more problems” has become the classic answer. More questions, and there is nothing wrong, but the blind, too much repetition, in addition to questions do not know how to learn math people, is bound to ignore the mathematics and other educational functions, a clear understanding of the nature of mathematics.
In fact, the majority of math problems are practical response to the problem, when the real problem is transformed into a purely mathematical problem, there is no strong problem-solving capacity will be powerless. Correa called “problem solving” Of course, should also be included to solve practical problems, if they can have learned to guide students to apply mathematical knowledge to solve practical problems, doing mathematics and using mathematics, not only can increase the interest in learning will activities in mathematics learned in the process a lot of knowledge and to improve a variety of capacities.
