学以致用,运用所学知识解决实际问题,是学校教育的根本出发点和归宿,也是素质教育的根本目的。数学学科,更是培养学生运用知识能力的有效平台,学生应用意识一直是数学教学的重要目标之一。在大力倡导从“应试”向“素质”转轨的今天,培养学生应用数学的意识更是我们广大数学教师尤其要重视的课题。本文结合自身教学实践,就在初中数学教学中如何培养学生的应用意识谈点浅见。一、认真研究,挖掘教材应用因子新教材作为富有创新意识,独具时代特色的指导性文件,不仅从教材的编排上让学生耳目一新,更是在其中内容和理念的 Learning to apply, use the knowledge to solve practical problems, is the fundamental starting point and destination of school education, quality education is also the fundamental purpose. Mathematics, it is an effective platform to train students to use knowledge and ability, student awareness has always been one of the important goals of mathematics teaching. At the moment of vigorously advocating the transition from “examination ” to “quality ”, cultivating the students’ awareness of applied mathematics is also a topic that our majority mathematics teachers should pay particular attention to. This article combined with my own teaching practice, on the junior high school mathematics teaching how to cultivate students’ awareness of the application of shallow talk. First, conscientiously study and tap new factors of teaching materials as a new innovative teaching materials, unique characteristics of the time the guiding document, not only from the textbook layout for students refreshing, but also in which the content and ideas
