中國內地數學課程改革十年發展的歷程，是整個課程改革進程的一個縮影，從中亦折射出許多課程改革與探究的問題。數學課程最初設計的模式與理念，反映了世紀之交課程研究的理念與探索；課程實施帶來的變化成為改革的標誌；實施過程中的問題與討論反映不同群體的價值取向；課程的修訂與審議過程力求使課程完善或達到平衡。數學課程改革十年的歷程，是課程改革的演進歷程，亦是課程研究真實的實踐歷程。

The ten-year development of mathematics curriculum reform in the Chinese mainland is a microcosm of the whole curriculum reform process. It reflects many of the problems of curriculum reform and exploration. The initial model and philosophy of the mathematics curriculum design reflects the idea of curriculum research in the beginning of the 21st century. The changes resulting from implementation of the curriculum signify the reform. The problems and discussions in the implementation process reflect the value orientations of various parties. Curriculum review and revision aims to improve the curriculum or reach a balance. The ten-year curriculum reform of mathematics is the course of its evolution and also the real practice of curriculum studies.
