| Both at China and abroad,scholars are increasingly concerned about how to cultivate students’ core literacy in mathematics teaching,but there are also different statements in the academic community about the definition and components of core literacy.In the Curriculum Standards for Compulsory Education in Mathematics(2022 Edition)(hereinafter referred to as "the standards"),the main manifestations of core literacy in mathematics and its connotations are clarified.At the elementary school level,core literacy is mainly manifested as: number sense,quantity sense,symbolic awareness,arithmetic ability,geometric intuition,spatial concept,reasoning awareness,data awareness,model awareness,application awareness,and innovation awareness.With the in-depth study of core literacy,the contextual teaching of mathematics has also received much attention.The teaching suggestions of the Curriculum mentioned that the focus on the role of contextual design and problem posing in promoting students’ active participation in teaching activities,so that students can gradually develop core literacy in the activities.In order to promote the development of elementary school students’ core literacy in mathematics and to better implement the requirements of the standard,this paper investigates and studies the application of problem situations in elementary school mathematics,fully understands the current teaching situation,analyzes the actual problems,and proposes specific teaching strategies based on the concept of core literacy,so as to make some contributions to improving the teaching quality of problem situation creation and developing students’ core literacy.This study consists of six parts.The first part is the introduction,which introduces the background,purpose and significance of the study,research ideas and methods.The second part is the literature review,which is divided into three parts:research on problem contexts in mathematics,research on core literacy related to mathematics,and research on context creation from the perspective of core literacy in mathematics.Research on problem contexts in mathematics includes research on the connotation of problem contexts in mathematics teaching and learning,research on the design of problem contexts in mathematics teaching and learning,and research on the evaluation of problem contexts in mathematics teaching and learning.Research on core literacy related to mathematics includes: research on the connotation of core literacy related to mathematics,research on the components of core literacy related to mathematics.Research on context creation in the context of core literacy in mathematics includes: research on the importance of context creation in the context of core literacy in mathematics,and research on context creation strategies in the context of core literacy in mathematics.The third part is the definition of core concepts.This part mainly defines the meaning of core concepts such as problem situations and core literacy in mathematics.The fourth part is the investigation and analysis of the current situation of problem situations applied in sixth grade mathematics teaching in elementary school from the perspective of core literacy.In this part,through designing questionnaires,distributing questionnaires and interviews,collecting questionnaires,collating and analyzing data,etc.,according to the results of the analysis,the current situation of problem situations applied in sixth grade mathematics in elementary school from the perspective of core literacy is understood and the current situation is analyzed.The fifth part is a reasonable proposal for the application of problem situations in the sixth grade of elementary school from the perspective of core literacy,which is combined with the status quo in the previous part as follows.The sixth part is the concluding remarks,which summarizes the research results and presents the shortcomings and outlook. |
