The Relationships Among Math Problem Solving,Attention And Working Memory For Primary School Students

Mathematics problem solving ability is the symbol of Mathematics ability.During the compulsory education phase,Mathematics problem solving ability is taken as the goal of mathematics course.Not only improving primary school students' Mathematics problem solving ability can increase students' core literacy ability,but also a key link to achieve the goal of compulsory education.The process of solving Mathematics problems involves many links,which is a process of information processing.Attention is that students adjust their psychological state to the current object,especially in the psychological process of learning.For different students,their attention ability is also different.Hence,in solving a problem,students will be able to adjust their attention state to make themselves focus more on the tasks they are facing.Therefore,there may be a certain relationship between attention ability and Mathematics problem solving.Working memory processes information from the outside world and then temporarily stores it.In numerous studies,once proved that working memory system plays an significance role in acknowledge activities such as logical deduction,mathematics study and problem solving.Therefore,this paper takes the students of a public Grade two and three primary school in Shanghai as the research object,measures their Mathematics problem solving ability,attention and working memory ability,explores their performance of Mathematics problem solving ability,attention and working memory,whether there are grade and gender differences,explores the performance of students in different forms of Mathematics problems,and explores the performance of students in different cognitive levels of Mathematics problems,Explore the relationship between Mathematics problem solving ability and attention and working memory,and explore the performance of students with different attention and working memory levels on Mathematics problems with different representation forms and Mathematics problems with different Mathematics cognitive levels.The research results show that the Mathematics problem solving ability of students in grade 2 and grade 3 is general,showing significant grade differences,no gender differences,Grade two and three students pay attention to the average level,There was a grade difference,yet no gender difference;Grade two and three students have good working memory ability;Second and third grade students' Mathematics problem-solving ability has no correlation with attention,but has correlation with working memory.Students with high attention ability have higher performance in solving the Mathematics problems of schema representation.Therefore,we should pay attention to students' attention level in teaching,and improve students' working memory ability through certain training.For students of different attention abilities,the teaching method is more carried out in the form of Mathematics problems represented by schema,which may also be a feasible idea to improve the ability to solve Mathematics problems,in order to improve the nucleus ability of mathematics.Meanwhile,it offer some of the references for teachers' teaching strategies,provides a certain theoretical basis for parents to educate their children,and provides some references for the implementation of quality education.
