1. Mathematical methods refer to various ways, means and approaches used in the process of discovering, proposing, analyzing and solving problems (including internal problems and practical problems in mathematics) by mathematical methods. Such as recursive pattern, generalization, specialization, etc. Mathematical method is the strategy and procedure to solve mathematical problems, and it is the concrete embodiment of mathematical thought.
2. Mathematical thought is the essential understanding of mathematical knowledge, and it is a mathematical viewpoint put forward from some specific mathematical contents and understanding of mathematics. Repeated use in cognitive activities has universal guiding significance. It is the guiding ideology of establishing mathematics and solving problems with mathematics. Such as letter algebra, reduction, limit, classification, etc.
3. Mathematical thinking method is the essential understanding of mathematical knowledge, theorems, methods and laws, the rational understanding of the regularity formed by mathematical knowledge and methods, and the fundamental strategy to solve mathematical problems. Mathematical thinking method is the most important part of mathematical knowledge and the essence of mathematics. Learning mathematical thinking well can build a bridge between basic knowledge and ability, help students form a good cognitive structure, and cultivate students' good mathematical concepts and innovative thinking carriers.
