Features: Chinese mathematics education has been continuously absorbing modern educational concepts and advanced achievements from the world, gradually integrating them with the actual national conditions of China as a developing country. It represents a balance between teacher-led, receptive learning and student-centered, inquiry-based learning, following the traditional Chinese approach of integration. Essentially, it is a modern fusion of Eastern and Western cultures. In this fusion, a distinctive mathematics education with the goal of quality-oriented education has gradually taken shape in China. Summarizing and leveraging the traditional experience and strengths of our mathematics education, while improving our shortcomings, is the only way to steadily and solidly catch up with the advanced level of world mathematics education. This book is merely a gift from a group of mathematics educators to the new century on the eve of the millennium.
