Against the background of continuous deepening of education reform, the 2022 edition of Mathematics Curriculum Standards for Compulsory Education clearly requires the implementation of interdisciplinary thematic learning to strengthen subject connection and integration. The promotion of subject integration in rural primary school mathematics teaching is hindered by practical problems such as low professional matching of teachers, insufficient activation of local resources, and inadequate home-school coordination. Based on the requirements of the new curriculum standards and the "localization" characteristics of rural teaching, combined with the Jiangsu Education Edition textbooks, this paper deepens the path of subject integration in rural primary school mathematics from four dimensions: "current situation analysis—local optimization of strategies and implementation of case scenarios—home-school linkage in evaluation—supporting safeguard measures". By excavating local materials such as farmland, farm tools and farming activities, mathematics is integrated into the life scenarios of rural students, so as to effectively improve the effectiveness of classroom teaching and students' comprehensive literacy.
