Abstract

The integration between mathematics curriculum and the history of mathematics was a feature on new curriculum reform. By analyzing the distribution and process characteristics of sources in new mathematics curriculum in Japan's high school, we got inspiration: It should dilute form and focus on the substance on integration between new mathematics curriculum and the history of mathematics; Choose historical content based on a variety of themes from ancient and modern history of mathematics; Not to introduce the history of mathematics for introducing it; Finally, it should also strengthen the teachers cultivation on history of mathematics.
