ABSTRACT

In the Vietnam general education curriculum, Mathematics subject has an important position, being a tool for many other subjects. Mathematics has great potential to help students develop their intellectual abilities and qualities, training them to think abstractly and generalize. Furthermore, Mathematics has its roots in practice and is the "key" in most human activities, as well as in learning other subjects. In teaching mathematics, teachers not only guide students to acquire knowledge and skills but also train them to think and learn. Therefore, training in abstract thinking and generalization thinking is necessary to help students not only understand and remember math more deeply but also develop problem-solving, logical thinking and judgment skills, thereby helping them develop more comprehensively in the learning process and life.

KEYWORDS:
