A Comparative Study on the Content of Length,Capacity and Weights in Primary School Mathematics Textbooks in China,Japan and South Korea
Measurement is inseparable from human life,and it is also the beginning of the application of quantification and standard thinking.In the math courses,"length,capacity and weights"is the measurement content taught in the first to third grades of elementary school.This study compares the contents of"length,capacity and weights"in primary school textbooks of China,Japan and South Korea.At the macro level,the similarities and differences in the number of pages,grade distribution,content selection and arrangement progress of length,capacity and weights in the three primary school mathematics textbooks are statistically analyzed.At the micro level,length is selected as a case to analyze the similarities and differences in the selection and arrangement of knowledge points in the specific understanding of length.On the basis of the analysis,thoughts and suggestions are put forward:fully understand the value of length,capacity and weight;the editing of textbooks should pay attention to the practicality of measurement teaching;pay attention to the standardized writing and application of letter representation of measurement units;and pay attention to the integrity and unity of the content arrangement of length,capacity and weight.
