We simplify complex ideas to understand them. When working well, math makes things simpler. (Occasionally the medicine is worse than the disease.)

Let's change the generic "Math teaches you to think" to a more specific "Math helps us simplify ideas". We hide detail after detail to reveal an essential truth.

Is this style of thinking necessary? Required for survival? Usually not. But it's often interesting.

What's the simplest drawing you can recognize as a face? What's the simplest joke that's still funny? The simplest exercise that grows a muscle? Would knowing that improve your art, humor, or fitness?

examples
A computer says "millions of pixels" and you say "three lions". In seconds you threw away countless details to reveal a deeper insight.

What happened? We abstracted the scenario into something simpler.

Remove background from foregroundRemove differences between each animalRemove "animal-ness" (treat lions as generic "lines")Remove need to count objects with literal linesRemove need to specify a fixed number ("n happens to be 3 today")

We tend to call the steps we're explicitly aware of "math". Once it becomes natural, it's just "effortless seeing".
