1, to stimulate students' interest and emotion in mathematics.
As the saying goes, interest is the best teacher. Interest is an emotional cognitive tendency, which represents the degree of liking for specific people, things and things. Interest can be the driving force to support learning. Mathematics culture will affect students' enthusiasm for learning mathematics.
For example, when British mathematician wiles/Kloc-0 was 0/0 years old, on his way home from school, he came across an interesting book called The Big Problem in a roadside bookstore. He was attracted by the story of Fermat's last theorem in the book, so he became interested in mathematics and finally embarked on the road of mathematics.
2. Help students know mathematics, understand mathematics and learn mathematics better.
Mathematics is a very logical subject. Mathematical culture can help students understand the principles behind mathematical knowledge, thus helping them to know mathematics, understand mathematics and learn mathematics better. China also pays more and more attention to the role of mathematical culture in primary and secondary education. Academician Li Daqian and Academician Zhang Jingzhong also presided over the compilation of various mathematical and cultural reading materials.
For example, the small series of Mathematical Culture edited by Li Daqian includes 10 volumes such as Wonderful Infinity and Into Gauss. Zhang Jingzhong's popular science books on mathematics culture, such as Juvenile Mathematics Experiment, Mathematician's Eyes and Helping You Learn Mathematics, all use mathematics culture to help students know, understand and learn mathematics.
