Features: The new curriculum focuses on awakening, developing, and enhancing students' potential to promote their autonomous development; emphasizes students' holistic growth to foster harmonious development in cognition, emotions, attitudes, and skills; pays attention to students' unique needs in their life world to promote distinctive development; and 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, based on the "Full-Time Compulsory Education Curriculum Standards" formulated by the Ministry of Education, places greater emphasis on quality-oriented education. How to implement quality-oriented education in classroom teaching and truly improve students' qualities through education is a question of concern and exploration for the entire education community and society. Facing the new curriculum, we must learn to use new learning methods—autonomous learning, cooperative learning, and inquiry-based learning. To this end, we have organized renowned curriculum developers and frontline senior teachers from key secondary schools across the country to write this series of books based on the new textbook, striving to integrate the three learning methods mentioned above. This series breaks away from the outdated appearance of traditional synchronous teaching aids, both rooted in synchronous teaching and tailored to the new junior high school entrance examination requirements. While focusing on mastering basic knowledge through synchronous learning, it emphasizes guidance in thinking methods and, more importantly, cultivates students' abilities to analyze and solve problems. The content and chapter structure of the series are fully aligned with the new textbook, strictly synchronized with each lesson. The carefully selected unit section exercises and unit ability tests are of moderate difficulty, forming a three-tier testing system that conforms to the principles of quality-oriented education. This system allows students to conduct time-efficient and comprehensive training from multiple perspectives, truly achieving the goal of improving overall quality.
