(1) Propose the theme:
1. At present, the problem of mathematics learning caused by exam-oriented education deeply puzzles teachers and students of all ages. Because of paying too much attention to the pass rate of enrollment, learning mathematics has become a huge pressure and daunting. Moreover, math class is boring and difficult to learn, which makes most students not interested in learning math. Psychologist Piaget said: "All mental work depends on interest." Interest is a special psychological function of people, and it is a bridge and link for people to develop intelligence, acquire knowledge, achieve success and reach an ideal realm. Therefore, we decided to start with cultivating students' interest in learning mathematics to improve their math scores.
2. It is clearly pointed out in the new curriculum standard that mathematics teaching activities must stimulate students' interest, arouse their enthusiasm and stimulate their thinking; Attention should be paid to cultivating students' good study habits and mastering effective learning methods. Students' learning should be a lively, active and personalized process. In addition to learning, hands-on practice, independent exploration and cooperative communication are also important ways of mathematics learning. Students should have enough time and space to experience observation, experiment, guess, verification, reasoning and calculation. Proof and other activities. Teachers' teaching should be based on students' cognitive development level and friends' experience, face all students, pay attention to heuristic teaching and teach students in accordance with their aptitude, and provide students with sufficient opportunities for mathematics activities. We should properly handle the relationship between teachers' teaching and students' autonomous learning, take effective measures to inspire students to think, guide students to explore independently, and encourage students to cooperate and exchange, so that students can truly understand and master basic mathematical knowledge and skills, mathematical ideas and methods, get necessary mathematical thinking training, and acquire mathematical knowledge and skills.
(2), the purpose of the study:
The purpose of this topic is to explore the method and process of "improving students' interest in learning" in classroom teaching, build an educational concept system that meets the requirements of quality education, coordinate the development of students' knowledge, emotion and skills for the purpose of cultivating students' independent, cooperative and communicative learning quality, and think, express, discuss and communicate in the form of group cooperation, so that students can gain insights and increase their skills in cooperation.

Iv. implementation process and some achievements
Many Chinese and foreign educational experts, scholars and educators who are fighting in the front line of teaching are studying the topic of "research on improving students' interest in learning mathematics". How to carry out research in rural middle schools far away from cities and with older teachers' age structure? According to the actual situation of the school, the overall quality of teachers and the level of education and teaching, formulate a research plan that conforms to the actual situation of the school project. Under the leadership of school leaders and teaching departments, our research group has effectively carried out research work.
(A) a unified goal, detailed content
Our topic is the first theoretical research while doing a good job in classroom teaching in our school. Our topic is based on the actual situation of seventh-grade students learning mathematics in our school. Under the guidance of President Li, the math teachers in our grade group discussed and formulated the research plan and the concrete implementation of the research plan. After discussion and research, we made detailed sub-topic research objectives, completed tasks and achieved results. , the person in charge, to achieve "unified goal, detailed content, cooperate with each other, study with * * *".
(B) the implementation of research, and constantly sum up
In the comprehensive research, the members of the research group are regularly organized to study articles about cooperative learning in groups, and the members of the research group are regularly organized to meet to exchange information and problems in the implementation of the research, and a summary meeting is held once a month. In the summary, the successful practices are popularized, the existing problems are revised and the scheme is re-improved. Every member of the research group should make a summary.
During the whole activity, the researchers involved in the project can actively participate in the discussion, consciously learn relevant theories and articles, participate in classroom teaching practice activities, and write about the experience and existing problems of organizing cooperative learning.
Research achievements of verbs (abbreviation of verb)
1, doubt carefully and arouse interest.
"Learning begins with thinking, and thinking comes from doubt". Only when there is doubt can students be stimulated to explore. As a teacher, we should have the ability to dig and grasp the intellectual factors in textbooks, be good at catching the trend of students' thinking activities and guiding them, and make full use of problems to serve intellectual development. The so-called question setting means that teachers consciously set "questions" in the conflict between students' learning old and new knowledge, so that students can be "curious" in "questions" and "interesting" in "questions", thus achieving the purpose of stimulating students' interest in learning.
In view of students' interest and strong curiosity, in teaching, when reading practical problems, we should pay attention to the three elements of conditions, problems and quantitative relations, and practice purposefully in many aspects.
2, emotional communication, enhance interest in learning?
As a math teacher, it is easy to form a rigid and severe impression among students because of the lack of teaching hours and the lack of opportunities for communication between teachers and students. If students think the teacher is terrible, it is difficult for them to enjoy his class. Therefore, math teachers should talk to students more often to understand their ideological trends. If possible, they often carry out some collective activities with students, so that students can have affinity for teachers, make students like teachers, and then like mathematics. Especially in senior grades, there are often some underachievers, so teachers should not reprimand them at will. They should be persuasive, pay special attention to their self-esteem, and often encourage students with praise and rewards, especially those with poor foundation and poor grades. As long as there is progress, even small progress, teachers should praise it in time, so that they have a strong interest in mathematics from fear to love.
3. Conduct competitions appropriately to improve students' learning enthusiasm?
Appropriate competition is an effective means to stimulate students' enthusiasm for learning and strive for excellent results. Through the competition, students' sense of competition and thirst for knowledge will be stronger, and their interest in learning and perseverance to overcome difficulties will be greatly strengthened. Therefore, in the classroom, especially in the activity class, competition is generally used to organize teaching.
4. Strengthen intuition and guide hands-on operation.
In classroom teaching, vivid teaching methods such as visual AIDS and projectors can make static mathematics knowledge dynamic, which can not only stimulate students' enthusiasm for learning, but also make students impressed with what they have learned and unforgettable. For example, in the teaching of "plane graphics and three-dimensional graphics", the combination of multimedia teaching means and students' hands-on operation can be clear at a glance. Through students' observation and hands-on operation, not only can students' hands-on operation ability be improved, but also the results obtained through self-operation are impressive and memorable. Obviously, using intuitive teaching methods to guide hands-on operation in teaching can effectively stimulate students' interest in learning.
5. Practice is diversified, emphasizing practical activities.
In mathematics classroom teaching, diversified practice is an effective way to help students master knowledge, improve their ability to use knowledge, cultivate their interest in learning and develop logical thinking. In mathematics practice, we should use a variety of questions to make the practice content flexible and interesting. In addition, consciously guiding students to use mathematical knowledge to solve practical problems in extracurricular practice can also cultivate students' strong interest in learning. For example, if you learn the average score, you can solve the scoring problem of singing competition. After learning the knowledge of volume, students can be guided to explore the volume of irregular solids (such as stones and nails). After learning the scale, you can use the map to calculate the actual distance from home to tourist attractions, learn the application of the scale, and use the benchmark and the shadow of the sun to find the height of flagpoles and buildings. Through the practical application of mathematical knowledge, we can not only consolidate book knowledge, but also effectively.
Seven, the existing problems and reasons
Improving students' interest in learning is the embodiment of a new teaching method in the new curriculum standard, but it is of great significance to the current classroom teaching reform. Through study and research, it is found that he has not achieved ideal results in mathematics teaching practice, but there are still some problems that need further study and improvement.
Did not complete the teaching objectives well. Teachers' understanding and design of the arrangement intention of key contents in textbooks is a very important factor affecting students' interest in learning. In order to achieve the teaching objectives, teachers should study the teaching materials carefully, make clear the teaching emphases, difficulties and teaching objectives to be achieved, and carefully design teaching methods.
To sum up, all the teachers of the mathematics research group in our school have made some research attempts around the topic of "improving students' interest in learning mathematics", and the results are not many, just some ideas and some practices. There is still a big gap from the research of the subject. Although our research on the topic is over, our research on the process of mathematics teaching is not over. We should continue along this road.
