Super's Sketchpad is developed by Zhang Jing Zhong who is a Professor and famous mathematician, mathematics educationist, computer scientist, academician of Chinese Academy of Sciences. At present, Super's Sketchpad is popular mathematics instruction software in our junior middle school. But its application and research in our country isn't enough to use.From the direction of psychology and pedagogy, this paper studies theoretical basis about the integration of Super's Sketchpad and mathematics instruction, and summarizes previous results related with Super's Sketchpad. We explore Super's Sketchpad' applications to play a positive role in realizing new ideas in new course plan.Firstly, the paper probes into IT application in progress to Hubei province middle and primary school in mathematical education, and acquires large amount of information and relative data. Secondly, it interviews those mathematics teachers from the eighth middle school of Yi Chang City, and analyses Super's Sketchpad application and attitude of students. Based on investigation, the paper studies teaching model in integration of the super's Sketchpad and the junior middle school math course, provides structure and process of the "Mathematics experiment" model, and designs a teaching case.In our experiment, the paper pays more attention to Super's Sketchpad's effect in two classes (included the experimental class and contrasted class). Through applying Super's Sketchpad into mathematics instruction, the result shows the difference between two classes. The experimental class' scores and attitude is obviously improved. The main reason is that Super's Sketchpad can prompt the improvement of learners' scores and attitude, build up the conditions for learners' cognition, raise learners' IT accomplishment, and cultivate the ability of creation.This paper's new ideas are as following. It summarizes advantages and disadvantages in the universal application of Super's Sketchpad, based on interviewing applying condition of middle and primary school mathematics and Super's Sketchpad application. It designs the model of multi-media experiment classroom and makes use to the classic mathematics classroom. The last is to analysis the diversity of two teaching strategies. The experimental results solves the problem that why the Super's Sketchpad can improve student's learning.
