Problems and Counter measures in the Comprehensive and Practical Teaching of Mathematics in Primary Schools from the Perspective of the New Curriculum Standards

“Synthesis and Practice” is one of the four major sections of primary school mathematics textbooks, which carries the new concept of basic education curriculum reform, and plays a pivotal role in the cultivation of students􀆳comprehensive quality and the development of mathematical ability. Its educational value has been widely recognized at the theoretical level, but its teaching effectiveness has not been effectively highlighted in practical teaching. The Mathematics Curriculum Standards for Compulsory Education (2022 Edition) puts forward new requirements for “synthesis and practice”, and in this context, the educational value of “synthesis and practice” has been further demonstrated, but because of its unconventional teaching mode, teachers have certain difficulties in the implementation of teaching. Therefore, this article conducts a survey and research on the current situation of teaching “synthesis and practice” in primary school mathematics. The research results show that there are problems of insufficient teacher awareness and insufficient school support in the teaching of “synthesis and practice”. Therefore, in order to optimize teaching and better cultivate students' core literacy in mathematics, teacher training should be strengthened in the teaching of “synthesis and practice”, teacher literacy should be improved, research group discussion activities should be increased, and teacher education-related courses should be enriched. Emphasis should be placed on core competencies, highlighting the value of education, and grasping the comprehensiveness, practicality, cultural flavor, and involvement of teaching.
