On Cultivating Core Mathematical Literacy of High School Students from the Perspective of Learning Styles

Qin Yang

Abstract

Learning style is the sum of learning strategies and tendencies, which to a certain extent influences students' logical thinking and practical application abilities. Through semi-structured interviews with senior mathematics teachers and high school students at X High School, this paper explores the current status of core mathematical literacy and the impact of learning styles on high school students' core literacy. Based on learning styles, strategies for cultivating high school students' core mathematical literacy are proposed from three aspects: the content of core mathematical literacy in high school, high school students' logical thinking literacy in mathematics, and high school students' practical application literacy in mathematics.

Keywords
