With the development of new courses in the country, the educational department are paying more attention to the history of mathematics and mathematics cultural education. However, the current status of secondary mathematics teaching, the history of mathematics education did not receive enough advance. Many mathematics teachers in the teaching of mathematics, often related to the history of mathematics knowledge passed over, or simply not, which largely ignored usages of the history of mathematics for secondary mathematics. Even some of the history of mathematics teachers are able to do regular education, but also mere mathematician stories, little value from the point of excavation cultural history of mathematics education value.With the knowledge of mathematics and learning difficulties deepen, a considerable number of students gradually lost interest in the study of mathematics, in their eyes mathematics is the reactor of mathematical symbols and equation, for they think of mathematics as a dull subject. Even in mathematics examinations some students obtain good results, but they just learn mathematics for test, not out of their love of mathematics disciplines. Mathematics history is of great value in mathematics reveal sources and the reality of the background knowledge for guiding students truly understand mathematical thinking processes, and exploration and research in mathematics learning for students to stimulate interest in mathematics, the capacity to explore the spirit and aesthetic significance If we can give students lesions of the history of mathematics in math courses, and our lessons are connected with the cultural values of history of mathematics.Let mathematics culture the charm permeate the teaching materials, in the classrooms, and into teaching, so mathematics will be more accessible, through cultural dimension students enable to further understand mathematics, like mathematics, loves mathematics. Then we can imagine that the students can not only increase interest in learning and learning effectiveness, but also by mathematical culture affection, and this affection will have a far-reaching impact on the people, far more important in achieving good results in examinations, the study of cultural values in Mathematics history in mathematics curriculum is a very meaningful work; Through its research, we can get a higher position to look at mathematics teaching, to make us more aware of the history of mathematics education, to get a better understanding of the history of mathematics and mathematics culture ,even we can make sure the difficulties of the students when they learn mathematics through history, we can also prepare of teaching materials, etc.The research methodology used mainly by case studies law, investigation law, interviews law, literature law and Method of inspection. The main core of the study manifests the mathematics curriculum of mathematics history's cultural values, but one of the characteristics of the study is full introduction of a number of classroom teaching to reflect the true records of the history of mathematics in the classroom, and through the case in the history of mathematics education, we completely change the traditional type—only simple mathematics teaching materials on the history...
