Mathematics Teaching Culture Case

The value orientation of former researches on mathematics teaching meets with scientific value, and pursues reason in techniques to explain math teaching. The teaching itself is a kind of culture however, we will miss it’s true features if teaching is just explained from the point of natural science and the teaching practice. That’s why the author focuses on the culture to carries out this research.By analyzing the present situation, researches at home and abroad of math teaching and effective ways of math teaching, this research is based on the Constructivism, Learning Motivation theory, the Theory of the Human’s Overall Development, Theory of Human-oriented and Theory of Education Returning to Life, and gives the definition to math teaching.The culture of math teaching is putting the culture into particular situation of math classroom. It is the integration of outlook of value and behavior norms.It includes dominant knowledge,namely, the conceptualized knowledge and basic views in math. It also includes conceptual things such as various emotions and attitudes, especially the cultivation of rational thinking in math.The thesis adopts the method of literature review as well as the survey and research etc.The author focuses on the teacher’s view of teaching, their behavior and evaluation of teaching to carry out this research. Finally, main problems are found in present teaching:arbitrary teaching, standardization of teaching content, quiescent feature of teachers. The thesis also finds out the advice of constructing teaching culture in math class by adopting the method of case study. The advices mainly reflect in constructing the classroom teaching with math features and building a harmonious situation of math teaching which is full of rational spirit and awareness of creation.Mathematics classroom building full of mathematical taste that focus on the integration of mathematics teaching and life; simple beauty, symmetry, unity of the United States, singular beauty, rigorous United States and other aesthetic features focus on cultural values in the Teaching of Mathematics, strengthen the History of Mathematicseducation, to promote students’understanding of mathematics; focusing on the application of mathematical thinking, enhance mathematical literacy. To build mathematics classroom full of thinking generated concern rational thinking and innovative sense.By building full of mathematical taste mathematics classroom promote students ’understanding of mathematical knowledge; build a mathematics classroom full of rational thinking and innovation, and promote students’mathematical cognitive development; build a harmonious mathematics classroom, training students the correct outlook on lifeand values, to enable students to become valuable to society mathematical intellectuals. Based on the cultivation of basic mathematical knowledge, basic math skills, as well as the emotional values of mathematics, the mathematics classroom as places where teachers and students in social activities, teachers and students in the mathematics classroom cultural exchange, the mathematics classroom rich generative, in this culture the context of efforts to nurture students to have a knowledge of mathematics ability and good integration into society mathematical intellectuals.Construction of the math class which is full of math character lays the stress on integration of teaching and life as well as the penetration of math’s cultural value to the teaching, such as beauty in conciseness, symmetry, unification, singularity and preciseness. The history of math should be strengthened in order to promote students’ understanding of math. The application of ideas and methods in math should be stressed in order to improve the attainment in math. Construction of the math class which is full of generating thoughts focuses on the cultivation of rational thinking and the awareness of creation. Construction of a harmonious math class requires the harmony between teachers and teachers, among students and between humanistic thought and material-centered thought.Student’s understanding toward math knowledge can be improved and their ability of recognition on math can be promoted by constructing the math class which is full of math character. Harmonious math class is good for development of student’s correct sense of worth and philosophy and helps them to be a valuable man who would make contribution to the society. Based on the basic knowledge, skills and emotional values on math, math class should be a place in which both teachers and students can carry out various activities. There is the communication in such kind of classes which generate the real math class. The students in such situation can be developed into the persons who possess the ability of math knowledge and can join in society well.
