1, the language is abstract and rich in connotation.

Stolyar, a famous mathematics educator in the former Soviet Union, pointed out that mathematics teaching is the teaching of mathematics language, which shows that mathematics is also a language. Mathematical language is abstract and concise. In the process of reading, readers must know the relevant mathematical symbols and graphic symbols in perceptual reading materials and understand every mathematical term. But these symbols are often rich in connotation, which is quite different from natural language. It needs frequent language conversion in reading, which is an internal language conversion process, and ultimately a process of assimilating and adapting new knowledge in its own language, which brings certain difficulties to mathematics reading.

2, strict logic, rigorous thinking

In the process of mathematics reading, mathematical materials are mainly presented in the form of induction and deduction, which has certain rigor. Therefore, mathematics reading needs strict logical thinking ability, and requires fully mobilizing thinking activities such as memory, understanding, abstraction, analysis, induction, analogy and association, so as to achieve good reading effect. Generally speaking, we should read the new mathematical definitions and theorems carefully and analyze them carefully until we understand their meanings. When students want to understand a mathematical material or a concept, theorem or its proof, they must know the exact meaning of every mathematical term and symbol that appears in it, and can't ignore or omit any vocabulary that they don't understand.

Second, the strategy of cultivating mathematics reading ability

In view of the particularity that mathematics reading is different from other reading, we should not blindly copy the liberal arts reading mode to guide mathematics reading teaching, but should strengthen the research on effective strategies to cultivate mathematics reading ability. Few students regard reading math books as a pleasure, so it is necessary to introduce math reading into the classroom. Mathematics teachers should master certain reading guidance strategies, guide and help students step by step, and make students change from passive reading to active reading.
