Abstract
Objective: The aim of this review is to propose the use of mathematical problems as a way to strengthen mental health and develop the human brain. Bibliographic Review: Problem solving has been appearing in an innovative way as a methodology for mathematical teaching in several educational researches. The research in question also addresses the usefulness of solving mathematical problems for brain development and increasing quality of life through strengthening mental health. Exercising the brain and being in constant movement, makes the physical body keep its functions exercised and healthy, a subject that is the objective of numerous scientific researches and collaborations between the areas of health and education. The central purpose of inserting mathematical resolution in mental health care is to instruct new methods and expand the scope of studies in this new strategy. Final considerations: The study is based on the revision methodology to gather all the knowledge already existing in the area of mental health related to education and how they can interact both areas in order to promote the strengthening of the mind.
