In examining the organized efforts to bring the junior high school mathematics curriculum into focus with its proper functions, two movements become apparent: the administrative reorganization which created the junior high school, and the attempts to redirect the objectives of junior high mathematics.

Traditionally, a good part of the junior high school mathematics curriculum is devoted to a grand review of fractions. Unfortunately, despite the best efforts of teachers, this review often fails to achieve its aims, and many students still graduate from junior high school without a respectable working knowledge of fractions.

Development of computational skills with fractions has long been a part of the upper elementary and junior high school mathematics program. Current movements toward metrication have led some individuals to suggest that decimals will receive more attention in the mathematics curriculum with a corresponding de-emphasis on fractions. The suggestion may find an increased number of supporters, as recurring evidence indicates that pupil performance with fractions is discouragingly low. An alternative point of view is that although metrication may somewhat alter work with fractions, their importance within the structure of mathematics and to applications justifies their continued emphasis in the curriculum.

We are in the era of big data, and it is particularly important to cultivate students’ data processing ability. Python is an important auxiliary tool for data analysis, and its syntax is concise and clear, which is suitable for junior high school students to start learning code language. Making full use of modern information technology and Innovating Curriculum form is the new requirement of “China education modernization 2035”. Integrating Python into junior high school mathematics classroom is not only the innovation of mathematics curriculum form, but also a good way to cultivate students’ thinking ability and programming thought. Based on the understanding of Python software and data processing plate in junior high school mathematics curriculum, this paper analyzes the promotion of students’ thinking ability by integrating Python into junior high school mathematics classroom, and explores the strategies of applying Python in teaching combined with cases.
