Abstract
Based on the findings from a number of cross-national comparative studies of US and Chinese students, we provided a retrospective review of these studies and presented a profile of Chinese learners’ mathematical thinking in problem solving and problem posing. In particular, we identified several characteristics of Chinese learners’ mathematical thinking in problem solving as well as pointed out some future directions to refine and extend this list of characteristics of Chinese learners. This chapter not only helps us understand the nature of Chinese students’ mathematical thinking from a cross-national comparative perspective, but also provides information to refine instructional programs so that Chinese students’ mathematical thinking can be better nurtured and developed.
