The series boasts the following outstanding features:
Authority – Based on the curriculum standards issued by the Ministry of Education and aligned with textbooks published by the People's Education Press, Beijing Normal University Press, Jiangsu Education Press, Shandong Education Press, East China Normal University Press, Shanghai Science and Technology Press, and Language and Literature Press.
Novelty – The series is compiled according to the lesson standards for junior high school grades issued by the Ministry of Education, combining the internationally popular "active and dynamic" layout for developing students' intelligence with China's teaching material layout. It activates thinking while aligning with the psychological development of junior high students, reflecting the new curriculum reform plan, the new middle school exam reform model, and the new research-based learning approach, with a focus on learning methods. It reduces outdated problems, avoids tricky questions, carefully selects flexible problems, and innovates new problems to inspire thinking methods.
Forward-Thinking – The series emphasizes the requirements of the new curriculum standard teaching, constructing a "active learning, cooperative inquiry" teaching model. It "creates an atmosphere that students can easily accept," linking curriculum content to students' lives and the development of modern society. It emphasizes cultivating students' thinking processes and methods, as well as their ability to collect and process information, acquire new knowledge, analyze and solve problems, and communicate and cooperate.
Practicality – The content is closely aligned with the textbooks, featuring insightful analyses by teachers, knowledge summaries and learning suggestions for independent study, and problem-solving techniques to overcome "flexible problem" thinking barriers.
