| The Mathematics Curricula Standards of Fulltime Compulsory Education(2022Edition)clearly states that the mathematics course is guided by Xi Jinping Thought on Socialism with Chinese Characteristics for a New Era at the compulsory education level,implements the fundamental task of establishing moral values,gradually forms core literacies that meet the needs of lifelong development,and reflects the nurturing function of the mathematics course in terms of objectives,content,thinking and methods,and assessment.Teachers’ infiltration of mathematical thinking can complement the traditional indoctrination approach,broaden students’ horizons and enhance their mathematical thinking skills.This contributes to the all-round development of students.The symbolic-graphic combination is a very important mathematical idea that can help students to make abstract problems concrete and complex problems simple.This study focuses on the application of the symbolic-graphic combination of Mathematics teaching in Key Stage2,designed to help students improve their mathematical thinking skills and creativity.In this study,152 teachers and 400 students of Key Stage 2 in Huining County were selected as the subjects.The author used tests,questionnaires and interviews as research methods in the experiment.The following three questions were answered:(1).What is the current status of the application of the symbolic-graphic combination approach in the teaching of mathematics in primary schools?(2).In Key Stage 2,what are the factors affecting the application of the symbolic-graphic combination approach of Mathematics teaching?(3).In Key Stage 2,what are the strategies to enhance the effectiveness of the symbolic-graphic combination approach of Mathematics teaching?According to this study,the current situation of the application of the symbolicgraphic combination approach in mathematics teaching is that:(1)teachers have a certain degree of understanding of the symbolic-graphic combination approach,but they do not use it at the right time.(2)Teachers tend to neglect to include mathematical thinking as a specific teaching objective in their preparation for teaching,and it is also difficult for them to implicitly get students to use symbolic-graphic combination approach at the end of teaching.(3)Students have some understanding of the symbolic-graphic combination approach,but do not fully understand it.(4)Students have the intention to use the symbolic-graphic combination approach to solve mathematical problems,but some of them may give up using it to analyse and solve problems because of the difficulties in drawing diagrams and the difficulties in combining numbers and shapes.In Key Stage2,the main factors affecting the application of the symbolic-graphic combination approach of Mathematics teaching include:(1)Subjective factors: interest in learning,motivation,learning habits,importance and attitude towards learning;(2)Objective factors: including both teachers and teaching materials.Based on this,the researcher proposes some strategies for the application of the symbolic-graphic combination approach in the Key Stage 2.On the one hand,teaching strategies: teachers should change their teaching concepts and enhance their awareness of the infiltration of the symbolic-graphic combination approach in teaching;enrich the theoretical knowledge of the symbolic-graphic combination approach to guide students in constructing a knowledge system;accurately grasp the teaching content of the symbolic-graphic combination approach to improve the quality of the classroom;focus on the symbolic-graphic correlation to improve students’ mathematical thinking;strengthen the evaluation and reflection of the symbolic-graphic combination to promote students’ development;The teaching of the symbolic-graphic combination approach of thought should be in line with students’ psychological characteristics.And on the other,learning strategies: students use graphic to understand abstract and complex problems visually;they use "area models" to understand arithmetic and algorithms;they are diligent in listing equations to calculate,and in exploring the size of " graphic ",etc. |
