With the deepening of the curriculum reform, new requirements are put forward for students in all aspects. For the long-term development of the students, mathematics as the basic subject is to play its role, however, in the actual teaching activities, teachers pay too much attention to knowledge, neglecting the cultivation of students’ thinking, lead students to memorize the formula, the concept of content directly, but do not know how to, which makes it more difficult for students to do by analogy. inquiry learning is a kind of teaching activities of teachers in order to excavate students’ thinking potential, enhance the thinking ability, it can make students actively participate in classroom activities to think, explore.This article is to compare the teaching way of inquiry learning and traditional,using experimental research method, supplemented by classroom observation and other research methods, through the comparison of the process and results of the two experiments, discussed in the similar conditions, what are the differences between the implementation of inquiry learning and traditional activities of students in mathematical thinking, and the test results are analyzed, at the same time with the help of solo classification theory classified the test result, and thus more intuitive to see the student’s level of thinking, so as to further discuss the inquiry activities influence on mathematical thinking of students.According to the results, students using inquiry learning performed better than the students not, it could stimulate student’s study enthusiasm, cultivate high level of student’s thinking, there was significant difference. But due to the limitations of this experiment, the advantage is only reflected in some aspects, others are not very obvious. In the last part of this paper some suggestions is put forward according to the experimental process and results. |
