Features: In today's society, the demand for high-quality talent is becoming increasingly urgent. Correspondingly, in schools, emphasizing quality-oriented education has become a common consensus, and in society, continuously improving one's own quality has become the pursuit of every individual striving for success or greater success. A person's quality is multifaceted, but mathematical quality, i.e., intellectual quality, is undoubtedly a very important aspect. The mathematics we learn in school, as a subject, always includes two aspects: knowledge and ability. Ability, i.e., mathematical thinking ability, has a relatively direct connection with intellectual quality. In school, the means of training mathematical thinking is solving mathematical problems, and these problems use mathematical knowledge as material, which is of course very natural and reasonable, as one of the goals of education is to impart knowledge. But from the perspective of training thinking, there is also a type of mathematical puzzle that uses the colorful social life as material. Such mathematical puzzles do not involve deep mathematical knowledge but require strong thinking ability, making them ideal for mental training during spare time or leisure. The mathematical knowledge used to solve problems in Mathematical Thinking Games generally does not exceed the junior high school level, and the problems are arranged roughly from easy to difficult. Of course, ease is not absolute, and the order may also be reversed in some cases due to the story content. Some parts of the answers are quite deep, so you can set them aside for later consideration. Once you understand them, it will undoubtedly be a great pleasure, and perhaps it will even lead you to the realm of mathematics! This book is a mental training reader that uses mathematical knowledge as material. Each problem appears as a small story with a rich humanistic touch, accompanied by hints, interesting illustrations, and answers.
