Abstract

With the increasing penetration of mathematical culture in educational evaluation, more typical questions of mathematical culture have emerged in the college entrance examination. Through this highly focused platform of the college entrance examination, mathematical culture has come into the public eye. Under the influence of this major trend, mathematical culture has gradually permeated into various types of questions in the high school entrance examination. By sorting out the questions related to mathematical culture in the Dongying City High School entrance Examination mathematics papers over the past five years, and conducting an analysis from aspects such as the number of questions, question types, knowledge domains, content types, application levels, and core literacy, relevant high school entrance examination questions on mathematical culture are selected for appreciation. The following suggestions are put forward for the future direction of integrating mathematical culture into the high school entrance examination questions: (1) Select diverse materials and evenly distribute the types of mathematical culture;(2) Integrate into current affairs and implement the fundamental task of fostering virtue and nurturing talent;(3) Firmly grasp the essence and steadily enhance the level of core mathematical literacy in the high school entrance examination.
