Abstract

The purpose of this paper is to discuss the compulsory junior high school mathematics curriculum in terms of reform and development from an international perspective. First, the mathematics curriculum systems of different countries in the international arena and their advantages and disadvantages are introduced. Secondly, the current situation of the domestic compulsory junior secondary mathematics curriculum is analyzed, including the curriculum and students' academic level. Subsequently, drawing on the mathematics education reform practices in three countries, namely Singapore, Finland and the United States, the development trend of compulsory junior secondary mathematics curriculum in international perspective is proposed, such as the integration of technology and mathematics education and the focus on heterogeneous learners. Finally, it is suggested to strengthen teacher training and the introduction of multiple assessment systems for China's mathematics curriculum reform. Through this study, it is expected to provide useful reference and inspiration for the reform and development of compulsory junior high school mathematics curriculum in China.
