ABSTRACT

Sense of quantity is a very important element in the development of primary school students’ core literacy in mathematics. It is a new core keyword in mathematics added to the Mathematics Curriculum Standards (2021 Edition) to prompt teachers to focus on the development of students’ sense of quantity. This article is a study of quantitative awareness, which will help teachers move from a vague to a clear understanding of quantitative awareness, thereby improving the effectiveness of teaching and learning and helping students to acquire quantitative awareness and improve their core literacy. In teaching practice, there is a real dilemma that the content of teaching lacks a connection with life, the teaching process lacks activity experience, and the homework assignment lacks optimal design. Teachers need to develop students’ sense of quantity by linking them to real-life situations, developing their sense of quantity by enriching their perceptual experiences, and consolidating their sense of quantity by optimizing their homework design.
