This paper mainly introduces the status quo of mathematical beauty in both overseas and domestic researches, according to which, we find that the people who have been surveyed are mainly mathematicians, college students and hobbyists.However, less attention has been paid onto the middle school students in mathematic classes. In this paper, the investigated objects mainly focus on the middle school teachers, students and mathematics teachings.Firstly, we can easily find something related with mathematical beauty in teach-ing materials, which to some extent exert effective influence to the study of middle school students. Therefore, it is of necessity and significance to make a systemetic study on the mathematical beauty. On the foundation of middle school and high school mathematic textbooks, the mathematical beauty and its related mathematical culture are carefully find out, then illustrated in different classifications, finally analysed systemetically. The purpose is to arouse certain attentions both in middle school teachers and students and to strengthen the galvanising impact on mathematic study.Secondly, in the survey part, two kinds of work have been done:first, in order to know how much the middle school students know about mathematical beauty, the author of the paper has made a questionnaires on the extent of cognition and has made a data analysis accordingly; secondly, in order to the front-lined teachers’knowledge and teaching experience about mathematical beauty, the author of this paper has interviewed a middle school senior teacher and then recorded the data analysis in detail. According to interview and data analysis, the author has exemplify an excellent teaching case, on the base of which to analysis how can mathematical beauty be appropriately combined with mathematic teaching.Finally, or In conclusion, on the base of these analysis and surveys, the author gives the conclusion of this paper and also some suggestions on the infiltration of mathematical beauty into mathematic teaching. The author of this paper hopefully suggests that during the ordinary teaching process, the teachers will pay more attention in developing mathematic feeling, and in guiding students to know more about the beauty of concision, unity, symmetry, unification in formula, theorem and geometry.
