Features: Currently, China's primary school mathematics education system coexists with both excellent traditions and severe issues. The approach to reforming primary school mathematics teaching should focus on the following aspects:
- In terms of the value orientation of mathematical goals, emphasize the integration of goals, develop students' thinking, cultivate their abilities and innovative awareness, and maintain a balanced and harmonious relationship between knowledge goals and developmental goals.
- In terms of the value orientation of the teaching process, prioritize students' autonomous, harmonious, and personalized development.
- In terms of the value orientation of teaching models, emphasize diversity and richness in methods, means, forms, and content.
This book boldly explores and practices these aspects, such as emphasizing "guidance—discovery" in training methods, redesigning exercises to address outdated question types, and significantly expanding the scope of mathematical knowledge. These efforts are sufficient to unlock students' potential mathematical talents, making it an ideal reading material for primary school students and a valuable resource for teachers when designing lesson plans, broadening their perspectives. It is bound to have a positive impact on primary school mathematics education not only in our province but also nationwide.
