Reflections on Implementing Reasoning Ability in Junior High School Mathematics Classroom Teaching

Abstract

Reasoning ability is a hot topic in the field of education at home and abroad. Based on the meaning and training requirements of reasoning ability in the Mathematics Curriculum Standards for Compulsory Education (2022 Edition), this paper studies the current teaching status of classroom reasoning ability in junior high schools, and draws the following conclusions: 1. Teachers carry out teaching activities closely around the requirements of curriculum standards and textbook content; 2. Some teachers, especially veteran teachers have the thinking inertia of teaching; 3. Most students can only focus on what they are currently learning; 4. Students are inert in learning. Therefore, this paper gives the following four teaching suggestions: 1. Teachers engage in group lesson planning; 2. Teachers include a section in the exercise class where students explain the exercises; 3. The teacher expands the content of the textbook appropriately when teaching, and shows students the theorem-proving process; 4. Teachers conduct unit thematic teaching activities. The above four suggestions will help teachers to cultivate students' reasoning ability.
