(1) Reasoning consciousness refers to the initial understanding of logical reasoning process and its significance. Students should know that they can derive other propositions or conclusions from some facts and propositions according to the law; Be able to guess or find some preliminary conclusions through simple induction or analogy; Through the application of laws, experience the demonstration process of mathematics from general to special; Give a reasonable explanation to the problem solving process of yourself and others. Reasoning consciousness is helpful to develop reasonable and orderly thinking habits and enhance communication ability, which is the empirical basis for forming reasoning ability.

For example, bananas, apples, pears and pork are different from the other three items. If the child has a good inductive reasoning ability and can find that the first three are fruits and pork belongs to meat, he can easily answer.

(2) Reasoning ability refers to the ability to deduce other propositions or conclusions from some facts and propositions according to rules. Understand the importance of logical reasoning in forming mathematical concepts, rules, theorems and solving problems, and initially master the basic forms and rules of reasoning; For some simple problems, general conclusions can be inferred from special results; Understand the structure and connection of propositions, explore and express the process of argumentation; Perceive the rigor of mathematics and initially form the habit of logical expression and communication. Reasoning ability helps to gradually develop the thinking habit of attaching importance to arguments and logic, and form a scientific attitude and rational spirit of seeking truth from facts.

For example, when encountering problems in daily life, children with good logical thinking know how to understand the problems first, analyze the existing conditions, then think about what methods are suitable for solving the problems, and even verify or evaluate them after solving the problems.
