Research On Integrating The History Of Mathematics Into Primary School Mathematics Class Teaching

The new curriculum standard pointed out:"Mathematics is a kind of human culture. It’s content, ideas, methods, and language are important part of modern civilization." suggestions of compiling textbooks in the new curriculum standards emphasize the importance of introduction to mathematical background knowledge". Therefore, it’s meaningful to integrate the historical of mathematics into primary school.Due to physical and psychological characteristics of students, it’s necessary to follow the students’ cognitive law. Subject characteristics of primary mathematics require us to respect the facts of their own development in mathematics teaching design. How to combine the history of mathematics with elementary school mathematics teaching effectively is a question worth thinking about and exploring. Instructional Design is an important part of integrating the historical of mathematics into mathematics. The ways to integrate the historical of mathematics into primary school is discussed in this paper by combing with the specific case.On the basis of references, this paper put forward related strategies according to classic cases in four major areas of mathematics courses. First, an investigation on the condition of mathematics teaching is performed. The results show that most teachers only know the history of math and their teaching methods are very simple. Students are very interested in mathematics history. They believe that the historical study is helpful to learn mathematics. But unitary problem is found in learning mathematics historical.To improve the teaching nine strategies are proposed.
