The mathematics education in China has attracted worldwide attention due to the outstanding performance of Chinese students and scholars, especially their brilliant achievements in international competitions such as the International Mathematical Olympiad. International mathematics educators have been pondering over the reason behind this amazing success story. Mathematics Education in China aims to provide an adequate answer. The book grows out of the “National Presentation” that the Chinese delegation delivered during the 11th International Congress on Mathematical Education in Monterrey, Mexico, in 2008. The first two chapters review mathematics education in China from a traditional perspective. Chapters 3 to 8 cover the six aspects of mathematics education with Chinese characteristics: classroom teaching, problem solving, curriculum reform, teacher training and professional development, information and communications technology (ICT) in school mathematics education, and the mathematics education for ethnic minorities. Chapter 9 discusses the trends of mathematics education in modern China, summarizing the characteristics of Chinese mathematics education and analyzing the issues related to examination-oriented education.
