Abstract

With the establishment of HPM (International Thematic Organization on the Relationship between the History of Mathematics and Mathematics Teaching), China's education has been continuously reformed and developed, but there are still some problems in the practice of integrating the history of mathematics into high school mathematics teaching. Based on the relevant literature at home and abroad in the past ten years retrieved by the Science Citation Database (WoS) and China Knowledge Network (CNKI), this paper systematically sorts out the current situation of integrating the history of mathematics into high school mathematics teaching, and then summarizes the resistance affecting the integration of the history of mathematics according to the current research and analysis, and puts forward corresponding strategies to provide help and reference for front-line teachers and related educators. Finally, the current research is reviewed, prospected, and summarized.

Keywords
