Features: With the official publication and release of the "Full-time Compulsory Education Mathematics Curriculum Standards (Experimental Edition)," the new curriculum reform in basic education has been fully implemented in China. However, whether the new curriculum reform can truly take root depends on whether teachers can truly transform their concepts. The transformation of teachers' concepts hinges on whether they possess modern mathematics education theoretical knowledge as part of their professional qualities. This book provides a psychological theoretical foundation for learning and teaching in the implementation of the new mathematics curriculum. For example, the content covers the student perspective and teaching philosophy of the new mathematics curriculum, the transformation of learning methods, stimulus-response learning theory, which offers guidance in analyzing errors in mathematics learning and understanding the acquisition patterns of mathematical symbols, insight learning theory, which is highly helpful in grasping the essence of mathematical objects and solving problems, cumulative learning theory closely related to mathematics learning, discovery learning theory, which positively contributes to training students to identify, propose, and solve problems while fostering innovative thinking, cognitive assimilation theory directly linked to the construction and development of mathematical cognitive structures, and information processing theory, which offers a new perspective on understanding the mathematical thinking process. Additionally, the theory of constructing mathematical cognitive structures, the psychological analysis of teaching and learning in mathematics concepts and principles, mathematical problem-solving, mathematical thinking, mathematical abilities and their cultivation, among other topics, play a significant role in improving the theoretical level of mathematics teachers and guiding the reform of mathematics education. This book is one of the research outcomes of the Ministry of Education's Higher Education Department project, "Research on the Cultivation Goals and Curriculum Optimization of Higher Normal Mathematics Education in the 21st Century" (Project Approval No.: JSl45B). The lecture notes of this book were used as training materials for national-level primary and secondary school mathematics backbone teachers, Guangdong Province primary and secondary school mathematics backbone teachers, and Guangdong Province basic education mathematics new curriculum backbone trainers, receiving widespread acclaim from participants. The book's theory is relatively in-depth and systematic, with rich and typical case studies. It closely connects with teaching practice, revealing the laws of mathematics learning and teaching, making it highly practical. It serves as the key for new mathematics teachers to achieve success and provides a theoretical platform for mathematics teaching professionals to become experts. This book is the training textbook for Guangdong Province's basic education mathematics new curriculum and is suitable for primary and secondary school mathematics teachers, students in mathematics education majors at various normal universities, master's students in mathematics curriculum and teaching theory, mathematics education master's degree holders, mathematics education researchers at various levels.
