Abstract

The concept field is defined as the schema of all equivalent definitions of a mathematics concept. Concept system is defined as the schema of a group concept network where there are mathematics relations. Proposition field is defined as the schema of all equivalent proposition sets. Proposition system is defined as a schema of proposition sets where one mathematics proposition at least is "derived" from the other proposition. CPFS structure that consists of concept field, concept system proposition field, proposition system describes more precisely mathematics cognitive structure, and reveals the unique psychological phenomena and laws in mathematics learning.
