Abstract
The theory of multiple intelligences is a new theory about the structure of human intelligence. The theory of multiple intelligences provides a new perspective for the evaluation of mathematics education and has great enlightenment for the evaluation of mathematics education. In the western mathematics education, the theoretical and practical research of mathematics literacy is mainly embodied in the elements and levels of mathematics literacy, the evaluation of mathematics literacy and the teaching of mathematics literacy. It has the dual qualities of both ideological and practical. Discriminating the concept of mathematical literacy in Western mathematics education helps people to recognize the essence and value of the concept, awaken the consciousness and belief of mathematical literacy education, help to enrich the theoretical research of mathematical literacy, and provide support for practical exploration.
