The comprehensive ability that students need to have while they are studying mathematics courses or other courses related to mathematics(e.g.,physics,chemistry,biology,etc.)is mathematical core literacy.Core mathematical literacy plays an important role in the whole process of students' nine-year compulsory education,and how to cultivate or enhance students' core mathematical literacy has now become a common research issue in the field of basic education at home and abroad.After reviewing the relevant literature,it is found that the integration of the history of mathematical science development in secondary school mathematics teaching has a more desirable effect on the promotion of students' mathematical core literacy.This thesis uses literature research method,questionnaire survey method,interview method and experimental research method.The author analyzes and investigates the history of mathematical science development in the compulsory mathematics textbooks of general high school mathematics of Humanity B version.The author conducted a questionnaire survey on the current situation of the knowledge of the history of mathematical science development and mathematical core literacy among 105 high school students in the school where the educational internship was held,and interviewed six mathematics teachers in pairwise combination.Finally,using Chapter 3 of Compulsory Study 1 and Chapter 4 of Compulsory Study 2 of the Humanity B version of high school mathematics as the research vehicle,this article optimizes the design of the integration of the history of mathematical science development into the teaching of mathematics,hoping to achieve the purpose of effectively improving the core literacy of mathematics,and uses this design for the experimental class(the control class uses the traditional teaching design).The level of improvement of the core literacy in mathematics in the two classes was analyzed through the pre-test and the post-test to test its effectiveness and usefulness,and gave corresponding teaching cases for reference.The main conclusions of this thesis are: the history of mathematical science development presented in the compulsory textbook of general high school mathematics of the Humanity B version is less relevant to the corresponding mathematical knowledge content,and the "visual presentation(pictures,diagrams and texts)" is slightly weak;teachers and students' current knowledge of the history of mathematical science development and core literacy in mathematics and classroom integration are poor.This thesis highlights the value of incorporating the history of mathematical sciences into secondary school mathematics teaching under the core literacy,and concludes that the integration of the history of mathematical sciences into secondary school mathematics can help enhance students' core literacy.Based on the research conclusion,this thesis gives the corresponding strategies and the reference process of corresponding teaching,and the implementation strategies are mainly manifested in following three aspects:(1)focusing on the transformation from the history of mathematical science development to the form of mathematics curriculum resources;(2)ensuring the appropriateness of the content of mathematical knowledge and the history of mathematical science development;(3)choosing a reasonable integration mode according to the core literacy of mathematics.
