In fact, mathematics teaching has existed in China for a long time, and has gradually formed a relatively systematic mathematics education system. In the Western Zhou Dynasty, the "number" in the teaching subject "Six Arts" for aristocratic children was early mathematics education, and the "small arts" learned by ordinary people also included "number". In the Northern and Southern Dynasties, mathematics in China developed vigorously, and some books on mathematics, such as Sun Tzu's Calculations, Xiahou Yang's Calculations and Zhang Qiu's Calculations, came out one after another. At the same time, mathematics education has also made great progress. The "Mathematics" specially set up by the central official school in the Northern Wei Dynasty can be regarded as the earliest mathematics college in the world. This means that arithmetic is listed as one of the foundations of Chinese studies.
During the Sui and Tang Dynasties, China established a formal mathematics education system for the first time. During the period of Emperor Wendi of Sui Dynasty, China set up the Arithmetic Museum in imperial academy, where he set up Arithmetic.
Doctor 1 person, 2 teaching assistants, 8 students, and developed a special mathematics textbook "Ten Classics of Calculation" to teach students. During the Zhenguan period of Tang Dynasty, the scale of mathematics education was further expanded. There are 2 doctors, 1 teaching assistants and 30 students. Children under Grade 8 and children who like mathematics in Shu Ren and are between the ages of 65,438+04 and 65,438+09 can attend school. The research period is 9 years.
Song and Yuan Dynasties, namely 1 1 century to14th century, were the heyday of ancient Chinese mathematics. During this period, a number of outstanding mathematicians and mathematical works emerged, and China's mathematics reached the highest level, ranking in the leading position in the world together with Arabic mathematics at that time. In mathematics education, Imperial Examination, imperial academy and imperial academy all have special arithmetic examinations. /kloc-After the establishment of the Ming Dynasty in the middle and late 4th century, the rulers carried out the imperial examination system characterized by eight-part essay, greatly reducing the mathematics content in the national imperial examination. After losing the national policy encouragement, mathematics education also declined. Since then, China's ancient mathematics began to decline, falling behind the world.
