Understanding of primary school mathematics

Primary school mathematics is students' own mathematics.

Primary school mathematics knowledge is produced by students through specific activities with the help of their existing life experience; Mathematics teaching should provide students with various opportunities to explore, discuss, practice, investigate and solve problems. Its basic way should not be "teaching", but "guiding", leaving students with sufficient space for thinking and development, so that students can truly become the masters of learning activities; Mathematics learning is no longer a simple memory, imitation and training, but a variety of forms of learning such as independent exploration, cooperation and exchange, and practical innovation; Mathematics classroom should be changed from a simple hall for imparting knowledge to a place for students to actively engage in mathematics activities; Mathematics teachers should change from simple knowledge imparting to organizers, guides and collaborators of students' mathematics learning.

Primary school mathematics is life-oriented mathematics.

Judging from children's life experience, mathematics learning is no longer limited to classroom activities, but also a social activity. Students' living environment and any activity place should be used as a classroom for mathematics learning. Off-campus business activities, building materials, area estimation and measurement all contain rich mathematical problems and knowledge. The content of students' mathematics learning should be realistic, lively, interesting and challenging. These contents are conducive to cultivating students' abilities of observation, experiment, guessing, verification, reasoning and communication.

Primary school mathematics is different from scientific mathematics.

(1) has different purposes. Mathematics, as a science, aims at revealing quantitative relations and spatial forms, and often forms mathematical theories through logical reasoning, mainly focusing on accurately clarifying some mathematical theories. Primary school mathematics is not to build a logical system, but to let students study and live happily, and to promote students' lifelong sustainable development is the basic starting point of school mathematics education. The purpose of mathematics teaching is to promote students to learn mathematics knowledge.
