The Relationship between Popular Mathematics and Elite Mathematics
First, the impact of social progress on mathematics curriculum objectives

First of all, with the development of science and technology and the arrival of the information age, higher requirements are put forward for people's mathematical literacy. For example, the understanding of "precipitation probability" in daily weather forecast.

Secondly, the market economy needs people to master more useful mathematics. For example, grasp and understand various "trend charts" in the stock market.

Finally, we need to face more and more mathematical languages in our lives. Such as the understanding, recognition and reading of statistical charts, proportions, fractions, decimals, percentages and other symbols that can be seen everywhere in newspapers and magazines.

Secondly, the influence of the development of mathematics itself on the objectives of mathematics curriculum.

With the prosperity and unification of classical mathematics, many mathematical application methods, especially the combination with computers, have expanded mathematics in research fields, research methods and application scope. The development of mathematics science itself will inevitably put forward new requirements for the curriculum objectives of mathematics education and teaching. On the one hand, the status of curriculum objectives has been significantly improved; On the other hand, students can learn mathematics by doing mathematics, and experience scientific research methods such as observation, trial, reasonable reasoning and guessing experiments; On the other hand, with the development of computer, the training goal of calculation and problem-solving skills has been weakened, and the ability goal of judgment and optimization needs to be strengthened.

Thirdly, the influence of children's development view on mathematics curriculum objectives.

The new concept of children's development focuses on children's development, from focusing on elite mathematics to focusing on popular mathematics, emphasizing learning mathematics suitable for each individual, cultivating people's mathematical literacy and improving citizens' quality has become an important curriculum goal.
