Core competency oriented problem-solving teaching ----Taking "Solving Application Problems with a System of Equations" as an Example
Get PDFThe teaching of Mathematical problem-solving is one of the three key teaching points in junior high school mathematics. Solving applied problems through equations (systems) is an important component of the first module of teaching content, "Numbers and Algebra", and holds a very important position. It is a key focus in junior high school mathematics problem-solving teaching. At present, under the premise of the implementation of the new curriculum reform in the field of mathematics in China, based on the recent publication of compulsory education curriculum standards,the teachers of mathematics should focus on cultivating excellent mathematical core literacy among junior high school students, and ensuring that they can independently cope with and solve problems in the math teaching of junior high school. Based on the above background, the author focuses on the newly published mathematics curriculum standards in 2022, and studies the teaching design of "solving application problems for systems of equations". In this paper, we explore the mathematical core literacy elements contained in the teaching of solving applied problems in equations, study the improvement path of mathematical problem-solving teaching, share the teaching design practice and thinking based on core literacy oriented problem-solving teaching, and the important role that this teaching design can play in cultivating students' core literacy

Research on Pre-borrowing Invoices in Universities under Accounting Informatization
Get PDFIn the context of the reform of the government accounting system, the basis of accounting of colleges and universities has transformed from the original single ‘cash basis’ to the dual basic model that includes the ‘cash basis’ and ‘accrual basis’. This change undoubtedly brings new challenges to the financial management of colleges and universities. The pre-borrowing invoice business exists in universities, and with the development of accounting informatization, how to effectively manage and prevent the risks of pre-borrowing invoices has become an urgent problem. Combined with the actual work situation, this paper deeply analyzes the risk points of the pre-borrowing invoice business, and puts forward corresponding preventive measures from the two dimensions of pre-borrowing invoice management and accounting based on the background of information technology
Hierarchical Design Optimization Strategy of Primary School Mathematics Homework from the Perspective of Core Literacy

Enhancing Tourists' Satisfaction: Leveraging Artificial Intelligence in the Tourism Sector
Get PDFThe tourism industry plays a pivotal role in global economic growth and development, significantly contributing to GDP, job creation, and cultural exchange. However, delivering exceptional tourist experiences remains challenging due to factors such as overcrowding, inadequate infrastructure, language barriers, and cultural insensitivity. The integration of artificial intelligence (AI) technologies offers a promising solution to these challenges. AI can enhance personalization, streamline operations, and improve resource allocation, thereby elevating the overall quality of the tourist experience. AI-driven technologies, such as machine learning algorithms, virtual assistants, augmented reality (AR), and virtual reality (VR) applications, can provide tailored recommendations, multilingual support, and immersive experiences. Moreover, AI can enhance safety and security through predictive analytics and real-time monitoring. While the potential of AI to revolutionize the tourism industry is immense, responsible and ethical implementation is crucial to ensure that these innovations benefit all stakeholders and mitigate potential risks. Embracing transparency, privacy, and fairness in AI practices will foster trust and create more inclusive, sustainable, and enriching travel experiences globally
