Some Measures of Teaching Mathematical Culture to Students Appropriate with the General Education Program in Mathematics 2018 through the Topic: Natural Logarithm – 6th Grade in Vietnam

Abstract

Mathematical culture is an abstract concept in relation to fundamental characteristics in the quality and thinking of math learners. Not only does teaching math help learners obtain rules, methods, and strategies for solving the math problems in the process of math study but it also shows the learners with the reality value of learning math in tight relation to nature and society. In the context of innovations in the General Education Program in Mathematics 2018 and the educational objectives in the new era of Vietnam, teaching mathematical culture to students calls for special interest and determined action. On the basis of fundamental characteristics in the concept of Mathematics and objectives in the General Education Program in Mathematics 2018, we proposed some solutions of teaching Mathematical culture effectively by demonstrating examples in the topic: “Natural logarithm” – 6th grade Math. Teaching Mathematical culture at schools still draws little attention and emphasis. Proposing some measures of supporting teachers to overcome this difficulty shall make a positive impact on students' and teachers' awareness of the meaning and role of Mathematical culture in the process of learners’ comprehensive development.
