The Significance of Primary School Mathematics Teachers' Literacy

The value of mathematics learning lies not only in its thinking value and application value, but also in its educational value. As American mathematician M. Klein said, in the broadest sense, mathematics is a kind of spirit, a kind of rational spirit, which makes people more comprehensive, richer and stronger? . What is the significance of primary school mathematics teachers' literacy? The following are some of the contents I collected, hoping to help you.

The Significance of Primary School Mathematics Teachers' Literacy

1 helps teachers to participate in the curriculum reform of basic education.

2. It is helpful for teachers to deeply understand the content of mathematics teaching and analyze and deal with teaching materials from a higher angle.

3. It is helpful for students to have aesthetic education, dialectical materialism enlightenment education and emotional attitude and values education.

The value of mathematics learning lies not only in its thinking value and application value, but also in its educational value. As American mathematician M. Klein said, in the broadest sense, mathematics is a kind of spirit, a kind of rational spirit, which makes people more comprehensive, richer and stronger? .

When studying mathematics teaching, mathematics teachers should not only be confined to mathematics itself, but also have knowledge in related fields. If mathematics teaching is a ship sailing on the vast sea, then teachers' cultural literacy is the fuel and sail of this ship. Only by constantly improving one's literacy and skills can mathematics teaching set sail? Until the river bank widens at low tide, and no wind blows my lonely sail? .

The Connotation of Primary School Mathematics Teachers' Cultural Literacy

The concept of cultural literacy is not? Culture? With what? Literacy? Mechanical combination is the basis of a person's overall quality, which helps teachers to understand and master professional knowledge and skills, and plays an important role in cultivating and improving teachers' professional quality and physical and mental quality.

The cultural literacy of primary school mathematics teachers includes the following contents: mathematical literacy, philosophical literacy, logical literacy, psychological literacy and aesthetic literacy.

Mathematics literacy is the basic literacy of primary school mathematics teachers. Mathematical knowledge can be divided into explicit written materials and implicit mathematical thoughts. Primary school mathematics teachers must try their best to understand mathematics thoughts, consciously improve the quality of methodology, and apply mathematics thoughts to solve problems in mathematics teaching activities.

? Without mathematics, we can't see through the depth of philosophy; Without philosophy, people cannot see through the depth of mathematics; Without these two things, people can't see through anything. ?

Mathematician Xu Lizhi once said: Apply the research results of mathematical philosophy and history to the process of mathematical education, and promote the organic combination of mathematical philosophy, history and education.

Logical literacy is an essential basic literacy for people to correctly understand things, master knowledge and engage in work. Cultivating students' initial logical thinking ability is one of the purposes and requirements of primary school mathematics teaching.

Russell, an English philosopher and mathematician, said: If we look at mathematics correctly, it has supreme beauty.

In addition, teachers' teaching behavior also involves pedagogy, management, ethics, political science, sociology and other disciplines. So the knowledge structure of math teachers should not only? Major? And then what? New? And want it? Hiro? And then what? Bo? .

Literacy of primary school mathematics teachers

First, cultivate mathematics quality.

1, strengthen the study of mathematics knowledge.

As a primary school mathematics teacher, we should not only be familiar with the internal system structure of primary school mathematics, the relationship between knowledge, and the background, position, function and mathematical culture of primary school mathematics knowledge, but also master the basic theoretical knowledge of primary school mathematics, deepen the understanding of primary school mathematics textbooks and improve the analytical ability of textbooks. As a primary school mathematics teacher, he should also have a high level of mathematics knowledge, understand the expanded contents, mathematical ideas and methods related to primary school mathematics knowledge, broaden his knowledge field, enrich his knowledge reserve and have a broader mathematical vision. Only in this way can you design your own classroom teaching with a developmental perspective and avoid making scientific mistakes.

2. Pay attention to the mathematical data of other subjects.

In the primary school stage, there is a great internal connection between subjects. As a primary school math teacher, we should attach importance to the math materials in other disciplines and refine them effectively, so as to get the communication between mathematics and other disciplines and give full play to the initiative of mathematics.

Second, cultivate the quality of mathematical thinking

Mathematical thinking method is the soul of mathematics, and mastering mathematical thinking method is the basic requirement for a primary school mathematics teacher.

1, strengthen the study of some typical mathematical thinking methods.

The so-called mathematical thought refers to people's essential understanding of mathematical theory and content, which directly dominates the practical activities of mathematics. The so-called mathematical method refers to the way, procedure and means of a certain mathematical activity process, which has the characteristics of process, hierarchy and operability. In primary school mathematics, mathematical ideas and methods are contained in mathematical materials, which are rich in content. As a primary school mathematics teacher, we should learn some typical mathematical thinking methods, such as abstract generalization, reduction, mathematical model, combination of numbers and shapes, inductive conjecture, including deduction, classification, complete induction, incomplete induction, observation and analogy.

2. Cultivate the ability to dig and refine the ideas and methods in the teaching content.

There are rich mathematical thinking methods in primary school mathematics textbooks. As a primary school mathematics teacher, we should fully explore the mathematical thinking method behind the textbook and show it as a guiding ideology in primary school mathematics teaching, so as to cultivate students' mathematical thinking ability. Because mathematical thinking method is not only a means to acquire knowledge, but also has stronger stability and more universal applicability than knowledge, students can acquire knowledge faster and understand knowledge more thoroughly if they master mathematical thinking method, thus benefiting for life.

3. Develop a good habit of thinking from a mathematical perspective.

There are many unique features in thinking about problems from a mathematical point of view and using mathematical thinking methods. In this regard, the famous Hungarian mathematician Rosa? Peter once vividly described: suppose there are gas stoves, faucets, kettles and matches in front of a group of experts, what should I do to boil water? Everyone thinks that we should pour water first, then light the gas stove, and then burn it on the fire. This is the understanding of * * *. But there is water in the pot. What if other conditions remain the same? At this time, most experts will directly put the gas stove on the fire, and only mathematicians will pour out the water, because mathematicians will use mathematical thinking at this time? Think about the problem by reduction method, and reduce the latter situation to a familiar situation. Reduction, spatial concept, statistical concept and deductive reasoning are common thinking methods in mathematics. A person with high mathematical literacy will always consciously observe and think about the problem from the perspective of mathematics when facing complex practical problems, and strive to find a solution to the problem with mathematics. In particular, primary school math teachers should let students think mathematically. First of all, they should form a good habit of observing and thinking about problems with mathematical thinking methods. Have a mathematical mind? People.

Third, cultivate the literacy of mathematical ability.

1, improve mathematical thinking ability, spatial imagination ability, mathematical modeling ability and other mathematical abilities.

Mathematics teachers in primary schools should cultivate students' abilities of observation, memory, attention, calculation, mathematical thinking, spatial imagination and mathematical modeling in mathematics teaching. Therefore, as a primary school math teacher, we should improve our math ability, so as to be handy and free in teaching, and thus cultivate students' math ability more effectively.

2. Enhance the ability to use mathematics.

Mathematics application literacy is an important part of mathematics literacy. Especially in contemporary times, mathematics, as an important foundation of various sciences and an important pillar of human civilization, has played a key role in many fields. Mathematics has penetrated into the whole society, and its influence and function can be said to be everywhere. Therefore, in today's society, the use of mathematics should be an important mathematical literacy, which should be the quality of every citizen. For example, with the deepening of social information feedback, the weather forecast broadcast by probability statistics, the working speed expressed by charts, and the production technology level expressed by normal distribution charts. As a primary school teacher, it is the responsibility to make future citizens adapt to this situation, and the importance of doing this education well can be imagined. Therefore, as a primary school teacher, I should be able to abstract practical problems related to disciplines, production and daily life into mathematical problems, and use mathematical knowledge and skills to analyze and solve them.

Fourth, form a correct view of mathematics.

Mathematics view is the basic view of mathematics, and it is a cognitive process for mathematics teachers to understand the essence of mathematics and learn mathematics. It involves not only the nature and characteristics of mathematics, but also the cognitive process of acquiring knowledge, or the law of learning mathematics. Teachers' view of mathematics is different from teachers' view of teaching, which determines the view of teaching to a certain extent and plays a vital role in mathematics teaching. Only when teachers form a correct understanding of mathematics and establish a correct view of mathematics can students form a correct understanding of mathematics.

Generally speaking, as a primary school math teacher, we should constantly learn math knowledge, enhance our math ability, correctly understand math, cultivate our math literacy, and embody our math literacy in primary school math teaching.
