For the original appearance of critical thinking at the earliest stage,we can date back to Aristoteleles's skill of critical thinking.But in the international education realm,it was John Dewey who raised concerns on critical thinking at the earlist stage. He started researching from the angle of democratism firstly and pointed out that the goal of education was the development of individual as the media of social ,democray and ration .After John Dewey,many actitists pointed out we must have critical thinking not only in study but also in life ,They emphasized investigation and introspection.They realized critical thinking was very value.In 1940s,critical thinking has already become the theme of education reform in the United States, during 1980s it become the core of education reform. The research work was carried on in Taiwan in the later of 1980s. But the study on this field at home is later than that west country . The progress of mondern society has promoted the quality education to unprecedented height.but the development of critical thinking for enhancing the student's innovation consciousness ,encouraging them to persist in the truth ,of courage formating their independent personality,scientific global and philosophical view .Therefore as a mathematics educator ,it's necessary to strengthen the research of critical thinking .consciously.This thesis use the method of combining theories and practice toghther,the auther investigated how to develop the student's critical thinking ability in the teaching process in the high school mathematics.The text is divided into three parts except the introduction and the concluding remark.Among them,the quote part points out the present condition of critical thinking among the students both in primary schools and middle schools. In our country,it shows the importance and urgency to strengthen their critical thinking. The first part of the article is a brief about critical thinking .In this part,the author simply introduces the criticual thinking's concept research origiens and the characteristics.The second part introduces about critical thinking during the development of mathematics and main thinking quality of mathematics.The third part is about some main strategies of the development critical thinking .In this part the auther introduces several strategies of cultitating critical thinging,then presents some concrete methods of cultivating critical thinking together with mathematical practices in mathematics teaching.The last part is the concluding remark of the article.It is not only the brief summary of this paper's research contents,but also is the prospect forecast about the construction of critical thinking in mathematics classroon teaching.
