Mathematics Education, which is the best embodiment of the trait of the normal education, is one of the required courses when we major in maths in the normal academy. The teaching materials of the courses have been presented variety , which have promoted the development of this course since 1980.Nowadays, with the deeping of the national education reform, a variety of weakness, including the outdated idea, the inaccurate orientation of target, the obsolete contents etc have been found in this course and its textbooks.
