There are many factors that affect the speed of mastering new knowledge, but this is the most intuitive way to observe a child's mathematical talent.
Some children who are regarded as top students in mathematics by teachers will not only show anxiety, but also be unwilling to make any bold attempts when they encounter "difficult" problems that they have never done before.
On the contrary, some students who often make small mistakes in exams can write and calculate on draft paper, not afraid of challenges.
The performance of unfamiliar problems is also one of the important criteria to distinguish between "trying to learn hegemony" and "learning hegemony with genius".
Second, be good at mathematical association and transfer.
The knowledge we have learned does not exist in isolation, so we must look at the problem from the perspective of connection.
Association is thinking of other related people or things because of someone or something. For example, when we saw the ground wet in the morning, we thought it might have rained last night.
Association is the basis of divergent thinking, and its importance is self-evident in the process of mathematics learning.
