The fundamental goal of mathematics education is "four basics", that is, students "acquire the basic knowledge, skills, ideas and experience of basic mathematics activities necessary for adapting to social life and further development".

Basic knowledge and skills are the traditional advantages that China's mathematics education has always attached importance to, and should be maintained and given new ideas in the reform of mathematics curriculum.

Mathematics teaching should pay special attention to basic ideas and basic activity experience, which is an important symbol of mathematics literacy. They are not only the needs of students' current study and development, but also the needs of students' future study and lifelong development.
