The curriculum of primary and secondary schools lays the foundation for students' future intellectual development, but it also contains some basic contents and training methods to improve their intelligence and thinking ability. Because any course itself is both knowledge and method. Specifically, Chinese provides a tool for language disciplines-language and writing, and also initially cultivates students' thinking in images; Mathematics uses symbols as a medium to teach students some preliminary knowledge of disciplines, and at the same time, it also initially cultivates students' abstract thinking; In addition, there are many types and forms of human intelligence and thinking ability. Mathematics is the viewpoint of improving intelligence and thinking ability, mainly from the perspective of western culture. Of course, this is also the foundation of modern culture (mainly scientific and technological culture) (the words intelligence and thinking come from the West). Mathematics can solve many practical problems and is also an important method to study problems. But it can't solve all the problems, it has certain adaptability, and it can't solve some problems well (such as traditional Chinese medicine and art problems, which is also the embodiment of intelligence and thinking. Who thinks painters and writers are idiots? )。 Of course, the curriculums in primary and secondary schools are all based on western research methods. From this perspective, it can also be considered that mathematics can improve intelligence and thinking ability. But it must be emphasized that the number of words is the foundation. Only by laying a good foundation can we talk about improving intelligence and thinking ability, because it is impossible to improve intelligence and thinking ability overnight.
