MATHEMATICAL THINKING AMONG THIRD-GRADE INTERMEDIATE STUDENTS
The aim of the current research is to identify the level of mathematical thinking and the level of its patterns among third-grade intermediate students, and to achieve the goal of the research, the following main null hypothesis was formulated: (There is no statistically significant difference at the significance level (0.05) between the average real performance of the students in the mathematical thinking test and their average performance The hypothesis of the same test (38). The study sample consisted of (386) female students. A test of mathematical thinking with its four patterns was built and consisted of (18) items distributed among its patterns as follows: 1. Visual thinking test (5) paragraph. 2. Deductive reasoning test (3) paragraph. 3. Critical thinking test (5) paragraph. 4. Creative thinking test (5) paragraph. The current research reached the following results: 1. The students of the research sample do not have the ability to think mathematically. 2. The students of the research sample have the ability to think visually. 3. The students of the research sample do not have the ability to think inductively. 4. The students of the research sample do not have the ability to think critically. 5. The female students of the research sample do not have the ability to think creatively.
