Learning mathematics has two purposes: one is to learn basic mathematical knowledge, and the other is to cultivate strict logical thinking ability. The latter is more important in a sense.
Mathematics has an important thinking training function. Mathematical thinking can make children not only stay on the surface of methods, but also analyze and think about problems through the surface, so that thinking becomes profound and full of rationality.
Mathematics teaching is not only acquisition, imitation, practice and proficiency, but also a simple combination of digital symbols, formulas, rules and procedures. More importantly, through them, we can feel the rich methods of mathematics and experience the colorful learning of mathematics.
Mathematics seems to have nothing to do with value judgment, but it still has supreme goodness, such as persistence and tenacity, rigor and truth-seeking in the process of exploration, which have witnessed the deeper virtue power of mathematics and enabled mathematics to transcend knowledge itself and find richer connotations.
Therefore, mathematical literacy is by no means equal to mathematical knowledge.
