Examining the Integration of Model Concept Literacy in Mathematics Instruction for Junior High School Students

Compulsory Education Mathematics Curriculum Standards [1] emphasizes the core literacy of model concept, and there are many current studies around model concept, but there are few analyses aimed at the implementation of the model concept literacy of the junior high school mathematics curriculum standard in the junior high school mathematics classroom teaching, so this paper analyzes the feasibility of and strategies for the implementation of the model concept based on the connotation of the model concept and the current status quo of junior high school mathematics teaching. Teachers can take the form of collective lesson planning to strengthen the understanding of the connotation of the model concept; introduce the materials related to mathematical learning that occurs in real life into the classroom promptly, and show them to students in the classroom in a contextual way; explain the process of mathematical modeling, knowledge points, analytical ideas, and other basic knowledge, and use a variety of teaching methods such as inspirational, discursive, exploratory, and practical, to create a relaxed and free learning atmosphere; promote students' mastery of equations, inequalities, functions, and other knowledge, creating opportunities to cultivate model concept literacy, consciously carrying out practical teaching activities, improving the ability to use mathematical models to solve problems, etc., to be able to truly implement the model concept in the classroom.
