Educator Confucius said: "The knower is not as good as the doer, and the doer is not as good as the musician." Interest is the forerunner of career success, and it is also the key to cultivate students' enthusiasm for learning and generate internal motivation. When we carefully study students' interest in learning, it is not difficult to find that all subjects that students are interested in are often subjects with good academic performance. This is because interest is the driving force of learning, which promotes students' interest in learning and is an important reason for learning success. Interest is of great significance for imparting mathematical knowledge, improving mathematical ability, reducing burdens and increasing efficiency, and improving learning quality. So how to cultivate students' interest in learning mathematics in high school mathematics teaching?

First, clarify the purpose of learning mathematics and stimulate students' interest in learning mathematics.

Einstein said, "Interest is the best teacher." Curiosity and interest in learning are the internal motivation to cultivate students' interest in learning and make them understand the value and use of high school mathematics. When students can realize that learning is a means for them to achieve an important goal, they will have a strong thirst for knowledge and interest. Facts have proved that in mathematics teaching, helping students understand the purpose of learning mathematics is an effective way to cultivate and stimulate students' interest in learning mathematics.

Second, improve teaching methods and cultivate students' interest in learning mathematics.

Efficient teaching quality depends largely on strong interest in learning, which often comes from good teaching methods. For a long time, under the mode of "exam-oriented education", "full house irrigation" and "sea tactics" have bored students. Therefore, to cultivate students' interest in learning, we must reform teaching methods, give full play to students' main role in the classroom and form a good classroom atmosphere. How to form a good classroom atmosphere and play the leading-in function of introduction class? Introducing new courses is a means to stimulate students' interest in learning. Reading guidance should grasp students' psychology, firmly attract students from the beginning, and let them listen to lectures and explore with strong interest.

Appropriate use of multimedia to stimulate students' interest in learning. Turn some abstract contents in mathematics into vivid, vivid and easy-to-understand knowledge, thus greatly improving students' strong interest in learning mathematics.

"Education through fun", according to the characteristics of students and easy to accept this requirement, makes the teaching content processed and expressed in vivid, concrete and interesting language, enables students to master knowledge and mobilize their enthusiasm and initiative in learning the artistic beauty and scientific beauty of mathematics. Therefore, it is a key and important means for teachers to use appropriate teaching methods to cultivate and stimulate students' interest in learning mathematics.

Third, pay attention to the cultivation of teachers and students' feelings and internalize students' interest in learning mathematics.

It's not terrible that a student falls behind in mathematics and fails the exam. What's terrible is his indifferent attitude.

How to change students' indifferent and indifferent attitude towards learning mathematics? Dido, a famous French educator, once pointed out sharply: "We believe that the art of teaching lies not in the ability to impart, but in inspiring, awakening and inspiring." In classroom teaching, after analyzing the problems to be solved, let the students give a blackboard display through their own thinking, and then the teacher will immediately motivate them. If we can give individual counseling and integrate feelings into teaching, students' feelings will be more profound. The love of mathematics is more lasting, in-depth and positive. Sometimes it even reaches the level of selflessness, which shows that the incentive function of emotional education plays an important role in mathematics education. The good cultivation of teachers and students' emotions internalizes students' interest in learning mathematics and transforms students' interest in learning mathematics into students' will to learn.

Fourth, cultivate students' creativity and interest in learning.

Mathematics classroom teaching should pay attention to the development of students' personality, cultivate students' spirit of daring to take risks and not being afraid of failure, and encourage students to think independently, ask questions boldly and participate actively. In teaching, students are guided to discover, analogize and guess, and their creative consciousness, strong creative motivation and creative potential are stimulated. Using the wrong trap from time to time and the sharp contrast in the process of solving problems can often make students consciously innovate, and at the same time let students understand that learning should not be satisfied with the ready-made answers in books, let alone superstitious teachers. To dare to challenge the teacher's teaching, the teacher's answer is only a reference, not an imperial edict. Every student should have his own opinion and be the master of his own thoughts.

Fifth, stimulate students' interest in learning with the unique beauty of mathematics.

Many high school students are interested in mathematics, not because they know the importance of mathematics very well, but because they think mathematics is abstruse and beautiful, geometric proofs are wonderful and mathematical operations are interesting. Whenever a difficult problem is solved, the joy in my heart will arise spontaneously. It goes without saying that learning mathematics should follow a benign interactive model: the edification of mathematical beauty-the generation and maintenance of interest-excellent learning effect. Mathematics is a beautiful art, and whenever a clever solution is encountered, a mathematical aesthetic feeling naturally arises. The beauty of mathematics comes from the organic combination of mathematical thought and practical truth, but it is higher than life. Mathematical beauty includes simplicity, symmetry, diversity and unity, harmony, singularity, logic and mathematical content. Therefore, if we want to get twice the result with half the effort, we must put the beauty of mathematics throughout the whole teaching process. Excavate aesthetic education factors in mathematics and let students be influenced by aesthetic education. "Everyone loves beauty" is particularly prominent among senior high school students, and beauty is the characteristic of mathematics. Therefore, teachers must be good at feeling and refining beauty from textbooks, integrating aesthetic education factors in textbooks into teaching plans, and creating the best teaching realm, so that students can appreciate the unique beauty in mathematics and stimulate students' endless fun and desire to learn.

Stimulate interest in learning from the joy of success.

Everyone is eager for success, and success will inject new vitality into people. Success will give students the source of psychological knowledge when learning mathematics. In mathematics teaching, we should create more opportunities for each student to express himself, start with simple questions, explore students' psychological bottom line, increase the channels of mathematical analysis, and guide students to make correct answers to exercises. Students have achieved good results again and again through their unique insights or creative thinking, and they are happy and proud of their success. Even if students' answers are not accurate or perfect occasionally, teachers should not blame them at all, but should find their bright spots, encourage them and let them feel the joy of success. Finally, let students understand that as long as they open their hearts, there is hope and success. Students who are motivated by achievements will persist in learning for longer. Even if you encounter setbacks, you often blame yourself for not working hard enough. They are bent on success, and if they fail, they will redouble their efforts until they succeed. Therefore, students with strong achievement motivation in school will generally get better grades. On the other hand, students who have never experienced success often lose their motivation in this area and turn their motivation to other things they are interested in. In a word, proper success or failure can enhance the motivation of follow-up learning, but successful experiences have a greater stimulating effect on motivation than failed experiences.

In a word, interest is the best teacher for students. Students can learn mathematics well only if they are interested in it. Therefore, in mathematics teaching, we should do everything possible to arouse students' enthusiasm, stimulate students' interest in learning, develop students' thinking, and let students learn knowledge through music learning, so as to achieve the best effect of mathematics teaching in senior high school.
