Academician Qiu Chengtong, a mathematician in China, also put forward a similar view. He thinks that every child has the talent to learn math well. Poor math scores do not mean that children have low IQ, but only that children have not found the right way to learn math.

Qiu Chengtong is a leader in the field of mathematics. He has been committed to promoting the development of basic mathematics education in China for many years, and has a deep understanding of the process of children's receiving mathematics education. Many children in exam-oriented education are used to memorizing formulas, solving problems and brushing questions with fixed patterns, ignoring the cultivation of mathematical thinking. At this rate, they will only lose confidence in mathematics.

Most children who are not good at math have the following three problems:

1. Not good at thinking

As we all know, logical reasoning, analytical understanding and abstract graphic cognition are the key knowledge of mathematical investigation. To have a deeper understanding and cognition of these knowledge, students need to be good at thinking and grasping the essence of things.

Students who are not good at thinking often only understand superficial problems when studying mathematics, and they will be stumped as long as the topic changes or the level is deeper. So sometimes analyzing application problems together can expose the shortcomings of many students.

Students who are not good at thinking prefer to brush questions, and they rely more on familiar questions and answers. It will be difficult for them to break through new boundaries and understand things at a new level. With the deepening of mathematics learning, it is often more difficult to get good grades.

2. Have resistance to mathematics

In fact, most students who have resistance to learning mathematics develop without thinking, because the difficulty of mathematics makes it difficult for them to make progress, so that students gradually have boring ideas about learning mathematics, which leads to resistance to mathematics. The more they resist, the farther away they are from mathematics.

3. The student base is uneven.

Many parents think how smart their children are when they are young. They often get full marks in math, but the higher they go, the lower their math scores. Aren't they smart when they grow up?

The more senior you are, the worse you learn math. In the final analysis, it is because the foundation is not laid well. In primary school, a lot of knowledge is relatively simple and easy to understand, and most students can master this knowledge well. Therefore, the gap between primary school students is not too obvious.
