For the most part, math is a lot about problem-solving. Some students may view this as tedious, others would say it’s such a bother. However, the point of making students solve math problems is for them to exercise their minds. Each math problem draws on a specific concept, and repeatedly solving similar problems allows students to master the concepts. A good grasp of various principles is very important in math because each higher topic builds upon an earlier topic. Math also builds logical thinking skills in kids. Since math problems are mostly solved through step-by-step processes, there is always a sense of order. Proving theorems in geometry is one example of such a logical process. That and other forms of mathematical problem solving equips students to think in a highly ordered manner.
