Educators have paid great attention to the topic of thinking, to the extent that some define learning as thinking itself. Mathematics is one of the subjects that most emphasizes thinking. The modern approach to teaching mathematics is based on teaching students how to learn mathematics rather than what to learn, which underscores the role of modern mathematics in developing the individual and equipping them with sound thinking skills. Teaching thinking to students in the basic education stage is considered one of the most important competencies that a teacher for this stage must possess. This requires them to be knowledgeable about thinking patterns and skills and to employ them in their teaching strategies to contribute to creating a thinking student.

This book is composed of five units. The first unit deals with the nature of mathematical thinking, its patterns, development factors, obstacles, and its connection to problem-solving and meaningful learning. The second unit includes practical applications of mathematical thinking by presenting a diverse collection of puzzles suitable for students at the upper, middle, and lower basic education levels. The third unit reviews some educational games in mathematics that help develop thinking among basic stage students. The fourth unit is dedicated to presenting the eight aspects of mathematical thinking: induction, generalization, deduction, symbolic expression, conjecture (intuition), modeling, logical thinking, and mathematical proof, with many exercises on these aspects. The fifth unit presents core thinking skills: focusing, information gathering, remembering, organizing, analyzing, generating, integrating, and evaluating. Each main skill includes several sub-skills, each of which is explained with a set of examples for clarification.
