Children's elementary mathematics education is an important way to develop their thinking ability, which is determined by the abstract, logical, dialectical and widely applied characteristics of mathematics itself.

1. can lay a foundation for mathematics learning in primary and secondary schools.

The survey shows that children who have received preschool education for one year before entering school are not only better than those who have not received preschool education in study habits, language development and moral behavior, but also have obvious differences in major subjects such as Chinese and mathematics.

Research shows that the development of primary school students' mathematical ability is closely related to their mathematical level when they first entered school. Those first-year primary school students who can count and count down correctly when they first enter school, have a preliminary concept of numbers, can decompose and combine numbers in 10, and add and subtract the numbers in 10 on this basis, instead of adding and subtracting them one by one at the counting level, will show their multi-digits, decimals and scores in the future.

In Belgium, it is also found that children in kindergartens have received some preliminary math training from the moment they enter the park. By the age of thirteen or fourteen, their math scores are better than those of their peers who have not received early childhood training.

2. Mathematics is an important way to promote children's thinking development.

Intelligence refers to the comprehensive ability of cognitive activities consisting of perception, observation, attention, memory, imagination, thinking ability and speech ability, in which thinking ability is the core part of intelligence. The development degree of thinking ability is the epitome and symbol of the whole intellectual development.

Children's elementary mathematics education is an important way to develop their thinking ability. This is determined by the abstract, logical, dialectical and widely applied characteristics of mathematics itself. For example, the natural number 3 can represent a collection of three balls, three chickens, three planes and three flowers ... all things with a number of three. Therefore, 3 is to omit the specific characteristics of balls, chickens, etc. from the set of specific things with the elements of 3, and abstract their quantitative relations.
