The Teaching of Highlighting Mathematical Culture from the Perspective of HPM ——Take the Teaching for "Letters Represent Numbers" as an Example

Abstract

"Compulsory Education Mathematics Curriculum Standards (2022 Edition)" clearly states that attention should be paid to mathematics culture, but at present, mathematics textbooks and classrooms still do not attach importance to mathematics culture, and mathematics culture is not really integrated into mathematics classroom teaching. For further exploring how to integrate mathematical culture into mathematical classroom teaching, the traditional teaching design of Letters Represent Numbers is transformed from the perspective of HPM by taking Letters Represent Numbers as a case, and the history of mathematics is used to highlight the mathematical culture embedded in mathematical knowledge, and based on this, ideas and suggestions are put forward for teaching to highlight mathematical culture from the perspective of HPM.
