This book introduces the outcomes of author’s 40 years of research, especially the theory of “the Triangular Pyramid Structure of Thinking” that he independently proposed, and the application of his development theory in the field of mathematics education. The book firstly explains the substantial character of intelligence, the development law of intelligence, and the relationship between intelligence development and creativity cultivation. Secondly, it discusses the structure of mathematical thinking of children and adolescents from 0 to 18 years old, and the methods of developing students’ thinking ability and the quality of intelligence through arithmetic learning. In the end, this book also demonstrates the characteristics of the development of mathematical thinking ability of children at age 0-6,  elementary school students, and secondary school students, and the related latest research in this field. Based on the theory of “the Triangular Pyramid Structure of Thinking”, a number of examples are given to illustrate how the theory of intelligence development can be used in mathematics teaching to promote the development of students’ thinking abilities and to improve the quality of teaching.
This book covers various areas including psychology, mathematics, and education. It has a great reference value for scholars in the field of psychology to study the theory of intelligence and the structure of thinking, providing guidance for parents and mathematics teachers to promote children’s quality of intelligence and mathematical thinking abilities, and to enhance their mathematics learning effects. In addition, it provides examples for psychological research to serve specific subject teaching in elementary and secondary schools.

Über Autor(innen)

Chongde Lin is a Professor of the Faculty of Psychology, at Beijing Normal University. After graduating from Beijing Normal University (BNU) in 1965 with a degree in psychology, he worked in elementary and middle schools for 13 years (1965-1978), serving as a school leader and teaching several subjects (including mathematics). He received his PhD degree at BNU in 1984. He has been a teacher at BNU since May 1980. He was promoted to be a full professor in June 1986 and became a PhD tutor in February 1990. From May 1985 to December 1999, he served as deputy director and director of the Institute of Developmental Psychology at Beijing Normal University.Over the past 40 years, he has conducted a number of studies on intelligence promotion around the cognitive development of children and adolescents. These studies have strongly contributed to the basic education reform in China, improved the quality of education, and promoted a major breakthrough in the field of thinking theory. The theory of “the Triangular Pyramid Structure of Thinking” is one of them, and the related paper Multiple Intelligence and the Structure of Thinking was published in the international journal Theory & Psychology.
