The first impression of ‘mathematics' for most students is boring.In fact,the mathematics discipline itself is vivid and interesting,but this is difficult to reflect in the current exam-oriented education.However,since the mathematics educators had a new elaboration of the concept of mathematics education,the educational function of the mathematics history has been increasingly valued by people.The mathematics historians at home and abroad have also carried out an exploration in the educational value of mathematics' history at a deeper level,and its related research theories are also constantly improving,so in the new round of reform,higher requirements for the use of mathematics history and mathematical culture are put forward.First of all,the educational function of mathematics history plays an active role in practical teaching.In addition to changing students' first impression of mathematics,it can also enhance students' learning motivation,in order to improve students' math scores.Secondly,through the understanding of mathematics history,students can access related mathematics knowledge beyond the textbook,which is conducive to students' overall cognition of mathematics knowledge and help students establish complete and correct cognitive structure systems.However,during the internship,the research found that the mathematics teachers rarely incorporated the mathematics history into teaching due to various factors,or their understanding of the educational value of mathematics history is not very clear.Some schools verbally call for speeding up putting the mathematics history into the classroom.In fact,they still carry out the traditional teaching mode of ‘spoon-feeding methods'.These schools often focus on improving students' academic performance,and do not realize the importance of cultivating students' mathematical thinking.They also do not help students to truly understand the connection between mathematics and real life or production,and they are unable to cultivate students' humanistic qualities.Therefore,based on the requirements for curriculum reform and the requirements for cultivating students' mathematical accomplishment,the author has carefully studied the relevant literatures,and determined the research direction of this paper.After related investigation on part of students and teachers in three schools,it is found that the infiltration of mathematical history into teaching is not ideal.Then on the basis of the analysis of the survey results,combining the current situation of the actual teaching,this thesis puts forward some strategies with practical value,such as mathematics history related knowledge,"historical vocalization principle" strategy,"mathematical history problem" strategy "re-creation" strategy and "mathematical knowledge development" problem-solving strategy.At the same time,design the corresponding case to verify the feasibility of the strategy.It is hoped that this will promote the application of mathematics history in teaching,correct the misunderstandings of traditional teaching in pursuit of results and neglect the process,break the traditional mechanical learning mode,play the role of mathematics in highlighting mathematical ideas and methods,reveal mathematical rules,and improve student learning.Interest,clarify mathematical facts,and enhance the value of students' patriotic feelings.
