Application Research On History Of Mathematics In Junior Mathematics Classroom Teaching

With the deep research on HPM, the positive effect of the mathematics history has been widely recognized. Mathematics history has unique function in such aspects as enhancing students'interest in learning mathematics, helping students to understand mathematics better and raising students' rational personality etc. However, taking a broad view to a classroom instruction practice, the function of mathematics history in classroom teaching practice is still very limited.On one hand, people have already widely realized that the introduction of the knowledge of mathematics history can greatly improve the current relatively mechanical mathematics classroom teaching; on the other hand, it is also a fact that mathematics teachers hardly use the knowledge of mathematics history in classroom teaching. How to surmount the gap between theory and practice to make mathematics history serve better in mathematics classroom teaching is the major task of this research.Firstly, the research tries to understand the reasons by questionnaire why junior middle school teachers seldom use the knowledge of mathematics history in mathematics classroom teaching, then analyzes the root behind the reasons and points out the essence of the question and proposes corresponding solutions. Furthermore, on the basis, the research explores and induces a set of steps to make the knowledge of mathematics history to be integrated in mathematics classroom teaching effectively– SAI law.Secondly, the research utilizes the SAI law to compile concrete mathematics lesson examples, and makes teachers have more personal understanding of the operating process that how the mathematics history is integrated in mathematics classroom teaching effectively, so as to enable teachers to use the SAI law more easily in the teaching practice to improve their classroom teaching.Finally, the research examines the SAI law in real classroom teaching situation, and finds the deficiency of the SAI law by students' feedback information, in the hope of perfecting the SAI law in practice continuously for extending it in mathematics teachers.In a word, the research takes practice as the first principle throughout, devotes into finding problems in practice, explores solutions of problems in practice, and improves solutions in practice continuously.
