Features: The new curriculum focuses on awakening, developing, and enhancing students' potential to promote their autonomous development; it emphasizes students' holistic growth, fostering harmonious development in cognition, emotions, attitudes, and skills; it pays attention to students' unique needs in their life world to promote their distinctive development; and it focuses on students' lifelong learning aspirations and the formation of their abilities to promote sustainable development. Ultimately, this current experimental textbook series for compulsory education, developed according to the Full-time Compulsory Education Curriculum Standards formulated by the Ministry of Education, further emphasizes quality education. How to implement quality education in classroom teaching and truly improve students' qualities through education is a question being closely watched and discussed by the entire education sector and society. Facing the new curriculum, we must learn to adopt new learning methods—autonomous learning, collaborative learning, and inquiry-based learning. To this end, we have organized renowned curriculum developers and frontline senior and advanced teachers from key secondary schools to write this series of books based on the new textbooks, striving to integrate the three learning methods mentioned above. This series breaks away from the outdated appearance of traditional synchronous teaching aids, combining synchronous teaching with the requirements of the new junior high school entrance examination. While focusing on mastering basic knowledge, it emphasizes guidance in thinking methods and more on cultivating students' abilities to analyze and solve problems. The content and chapter structure of the series are fully aligned with the new textbooks, strictly synchronized with each lesson. The carefully selected unit section exercises and unit ability tests are of moderate difficulty. Together with the mid-term and final examination questions, they form a three-tier testing system that adheres to the principles of quality education, allowing students to conduct time-efficient and comprehensive training from multiple perspectives, truly achieving the goal of improving overall quality.
