The Research Of Mathematical Culture Penetrate In High School Mathematics Teaching

Traditional mathematics education concept has focused on knowledge transmission, skill training and ability cultivation, which just views mathematics as a useful tool to understand and transform the world, too much emphasis on the utilitarian value of it. Quality Education advocated nowadays tells us to consider mathematics education in a much wider culture field and take into account mathematical culture."Mathematical culture" teaching has begun in mathematics classroom, forming a challenge to the traditional concept and producing good results. To build new math cultural classroom, carry out mathematical culture education in mathematics teaching, fully reflect scientific, humanistic and aesthetic value of mathematics.This article consists of five parts:the first part is the introduction, which describes the background, purpose and meaning, as well as research methods of the subject. The second part summarizes characteristics and values of math culture. The third part is about theoretical basis on which the math culture penetrates in high schools mathematics teaching. The fourth part summarizes several effective ways to penetrate math culture in high school mathematics teaching:(1) By stimulating learning interest with mathematical history.(2) By showing the beauty of mathematics to cultivate aesthetic sentiment.(3) By penetrating mathematical thinking to enhance the mathematical quality.(4) By writing mathematical essays to cultivate creative spirit. The fifth part is a complete diagnosis of present teaching of nine high schools in Shangqiu. In the process of mathematical culture teaching, teachers need a bold attempt and advocate ways of diversification to integrate mathematical culture and mathematics teaching.
