Elementary school mathematics education is an integral part of compulsory education in our country, and various kinds of research about the family education guidance of subject education is minimal. Based on the 320 primary school parents’questionnaire survey, obtains the main guidancemeans they learn mathematics for children is to help with homework and buy extra books let the children continue to do. This shows that in a certain extent, there is no scientific guidance for parents of children mathematics learning.Primary Mathematics textbooks of United States, Singapore and other countries have a of plate for parental involvement, the plate has become an important channel of communication between parents and children and it can provide the conditions for the school education and family education towards integration. Borrowed experience may be proved of high value, in order to provide a reference for mathematics education guidance of family education in our country. Singapore and China belong to Asian culture, and the total number of Chinese singaporeans accounted for 74% of the population, coupled with the mathematics education team from Southwest University has conducted a research project entitled An International Comparative Study on Science Textbooks (Elementary Mathematics) of Primary and Middle Schools, it indicates that the Singapore primary school mathematics textbooks My Pals are Here! Maths (2nd Edition) content breadth, depth of content, exercises three areas of difficulty with are close to us, the overall difficulty were similar, So in this study, the Singapore Primary School Mathematics Textbooks My Pals are Here! Maths (2nd Edition) written Home Maths feature in the column is one of the key, hoping their textbooks to write to our enlightenment.In this paper, the research problem identified as:1, the elementary school mathematics textbooks in Singapore My Pals are Here! Maths (2nd Edition) in the Home Maths the writing characteristics of researching; 2, the survey of parents of primary school, students, teachers completed parents willingness to participate Home Maths column similar to elementary mathematics textbooks to add a similar Home Maths column will; 3, Singapore primary school mathematics textbook for elementary school mathematics textbooks in our country enlightenment and questionnaire survey to the textbook written advice.In order to accomplish the above research questions, this paper uses the literature method, text analysis method, survey research method, statistical analysis method. The aim of this study is through the study of the problem more scholars focus on family education in the discipline education; To strengthen the study of elementary school mathematics textbooks in Singapore, for similar Home Maths section of the research; To write advice of elementary school mathematics textbooks in our country, to provide ideas for family education guidance of mathematics education from textbooks.The main research conclusions of this study:(1) Our parents have no scientific method to guide the children to learn mathematics. The pupils, parents, teachers are looking forward to the arrival of the Family Maths. Our survey of 385 pupils and 385 parents,37 teachers show that Chinese parents are very concerned about children’s mathematics learning, but mainly by mentoring children homework and buying extra books let the children continue to do.(2) Our students, parents, teachers are looking forward to the arrival of Family Maths. Whether looking for parents and children together to participate in Family Maths program, more than 75% of the students, parents and 87% of teachers said comparing expectation. More than 78% of students and 88% of parents expressed their willingness to execute Family Maths of the elementary mathematics textbooks, while more than 80% of parents said that they have confidence to execute this column.(3) Home Maths section of writing characteristics. In terms of external writing characteristics, characteristics of Home Maths column in the present, in the form of a brief, clear pure text description is given priority to, let parents and students at Home and information provided to complete the columns near; Columns types of situation, half life situation with the situation; Distribution of columns, the number per unit of a mainly to the number and algebra-based, contained the largest number of first grade. In terms of inner writing characteristics, columns cognitive requirements, with a low level task supplemented high level task, let the students consolidate the basic knowledge, at the same time, also can help students improve thinking ability and the ability to use knowledge to solve practical problems; Column type of activities, activities in various forms, with a verbal explanation, exchange "and" hands-on experience "activities, games and other auxiliary, the program pays attention to students’ understanding of concepts, training and hands-on ability to solve the problem of consciousness training. Home Maths column in terms of relationships with other item, Home Maths program major and Let’s Learn! Plate, directly related to the other item of 22% and the content of the textbook, belong to the independent status.78% of independent content and Let’s Learn! The content of the plate there are three kinds of close relationship. Elementary school mathematics textbooks enlightenment to our country:(1) In the elementary school mathematics textbooks in our country can be parents opened column-Family Maths column. In the elementary school mathematics textbooks in our country Family Maths is similar to My Pals are Here! Maths (2nd Edition) in the Home Maths column, the column for our parents to participate in a meaningful reference for the students’mathematics learning.(2) Family Maths column written intentions. The column should write "for parents to participate in their children’s learning learning provide a meaningful reference" based. Columns content must be closely related to this section knowledge, It allows parents to understand the importance of knowledge for children to grasp the situation, while the column content to be close to real life, to stimulate student interest in learning math, help students improve their problem-solving ability.(3) Family Maths program to be presented in the form of diversity. Family Maths activity in various forms, content should be close to the actual, convenient operation, to the game as pleasant to consolidate the knowledge, to pay attention to the cultivation of practical activities, to solve the problem of students understanding ability and knowledge points.(4) The difficulty of the Family Maths. Family Maths will appear in China problems and improve the problem, but the proportion of two questions remain to be discussed. Consider home long culture degree and the requirement of the students, I think the column on the basis of topic and improve the topic should be half, including junior students can increase more appropriate.(5) Frequency of Family Maths. It should be in a week Family Maths give priority to with 1 to 2 times the number of times, due to the lower grade students due to the interest in learning thicker, can proper more every week.
