Abstract: The higher mathematics curriculum is rich in “ideological and political” educational elements, which is an effective carrier to improve students’ comprehensive humanistic quality, carry out patriotic education, and cultivate a rigorous and realistic scientific spirit and good qualities of love and dedication, honesty and trustworthiness. Giving full play to teachers’ initiative, taking mathematical culture as the carrier, studying the teaching strategy of “ideological and political” educational elements in the curriculum”, optimizing teaching objectives, teaching design and assessment and evaluation system, and condensing the “ ideological and political” education elements will improve students’ humanistic quality, carry out patriotic education, cultivate rigorous scientific spirit and good qualities of professionalism, honesty and integrity. The teaching strategy of “ ideological and political education “ should be studied in depth, the teaching objectives, teaching design and assessment and evaluation system should be optimized, the “ ideological and political education” elements should be refined, the “civic and political science” educational value of the history and beauty of mathematics should be given full play, the dialectical thinking and mathematical spirit should be integrated into the subject teaching, and a teaching model guided by the “great ideological and political education” concept should be built. The teaching mode is guided by the concept of “great thinking and government” education.

Key words: higher mathematics, curriculum philosophy and politics, educational factors, teaching strategy
