Research Of History Of Mathematics In Middle School Mathematics Teaching

Using the history of mathematics in mathematics education has always been one of the important studying topics what people concerned. In the context of mathematics curriculum reform, the educational value of the history of mathematics to stimulate students’ interest in learning, develop students’ mathematical thinking is gradually being recognized by people, but the application of the history of mathematics is very limited in the actual teaching, people may just simply add materials or introduce the history of mathematics, but it not really reflect the original meaning of "integrating". So on the basis of accessing to extensive literatures, collecting some designed teaching cases and other material, this paper tries to research on designing for the mathematical teaching of the high school.This article falls into five sections.First section, introduce the background and the meaning of this research, the way to finish the research.Second section, as the research object, many mathematic teaching cases which integrated the history of mathematics are analyzed, the author analyze the situation and the mode of the history of mathematics into mathematics teaching in many ways.Third section, analyze the well-designed teaching cases which reflect the history of mathematics into the high school mathematics teaching. New high school mathematics curriculum reform as background, the theory of Psychology and Education as basis, according to the character of mathematics, begin in the way of the history of mathematics into mathematics teaching, analyzed the teaching cases about The concept of number, the Formulas of Geometric sequence’s first n items and the Law of cosines specifically.The fourth section, discuss the standards what the history of mathematics into mathematics teaching needs in two aspects. On one hand, when choose the material of the history of mathematics:combine the scientific and interesting, breadth and practicality, acceptability and purpose. On the other hand, when integrating the history of mathematics into mathematics teaching:reflect the mathematics of their own charm, a variety of ways to integrate, highlight the ways and thinking of mathematics, Point to the goals of mathematics education.The fifth section, this part review the research, and give some suggestion about the problems when the history of mathematics into mathematics teaching reflects.This research aimed at analyze the mathematics teaching cases, process the general pattern and the basic standards of the history of mathematics into mathematics teaching, give suggestions to the classroom teachers, then history of mathematics can be effectively integrated into the teaching and really play the role of the history of mathematics in mathematics education.
