"Inheritance, Reform, and Innovation in Junior High School Mathematics (Volume 1)": This book follows the reform direction of Deng Xiaoping's "Three Faces" education policy, reviewing and exploring the guiding ideology and main characteristics of basic mathematics education reform since the reform and opening-up. Based on current textbooks, it studies the renewal of junior high school mathematics teaching content, the optimization of teaching processes, and the reform of teaching methods. It proposes specific ideas and practices for the inheritance, reform, and innovation of junior high school mathematics, as well as for problem-solving systems. This approach not only helps to stimulate students' interest in learning mathematics and build confidence in mastering it but also fosters the ability to identify, analyze, and solve problems, as well as enhances learning, thinking, and innovative abilities. Additionally, it explores how to carry forward the fine tradition of ancient Chinese mathematics in problem-solving and algorithms, and how to establish a modernized new system of basic mathematics education with Chinese characteristics. The primary readers of this book are junior high school mathematics teachers and students, education researchers, and textbook compilers. It can also be referenced by mathematics educators, university teachers and students, and mathematics enthusiasts.
"Inheritance, Reform, and Innovation in Junior High School Mathematics (Volume 2)": This book proposes 17 problems in the number and function section of junior high school mathematics. Analyzing and solving these problems highlights the roles of "circle" and "square" in mathematics textbooks, as well as equations, problems, algorithms, systems, and changes. This approach not only carries forward the fine tradition of ancient Chinese mathematics, which states that "the methods of numbers originate from circles and squares," but also fulfills the educational function of the problem-solving system. From perspectives of holism, connectivity, and adaptability, it deepens the understanding, mastery, and application of numbers and functions, while also facilitating the renewal of teaching content, the reform of teaching methods, active student participation alongside the teacher's leading role, and the integration of mathematical thinking and systematic methods. It also helps to develop the ability to identify, analyze, and solve problems, as well as enhances learning, thinking, and innovative abilities. The primary readers of this book are junior high school mathematics teachers and students, education researchers, and textbook compilers. It can also be referenced by mathematics educators, university teachers and students, and mathematics enthusiasts.
"Inheritance, Reform, and Innovation in Junior High School Mathematics (Volume 3)": This book proposes 30 problems in the shape and space section of junior high school mathematics. Analyzing and solving these problems highlights the roles of "circle" and "square" in mathematics textbooks, as well as mechanization, change, development, and innovation, fully leveraging the educational function of the problem-solving system. This approach not only deepens the understanding, mastery, and application of shapes and space from perspectives of holism, connectivity, and adaptability, but also facilitates the renewal of teaching content and the reform of teaching methods. It also helps to develop the ability to identify, analyze, and solve problems, as well as enhances learning, thinking, and innovative abilities. Additionally, it explores how to replace axiomatics with mechanization, carry forward the unique style of ancient Chinese geometry, establish a new junior high school geometry teaching system that combines static and dynamic shapes starting from the "basic properties of line segments," and highlight the proof and development of the Pythagorean theorem. The primary readers of this book are junior high school mathematics teachers and students, education researchers, and textbook compilers. It can also be referenced by mathematics educators, university teachers and students, and mathematics enthusiasts.
