Abstract In the teaching of complexes, guided by the big ideas of “composition and structure determine properties, properties determine purposes”, the relevant knowledge of the composition, structural characteristics, properties, and uses of complexes is organically integrated with the general idea of understanding matter, and the overall structure of unit knowledge is realized. Select related materials familiar to students, create a chain of enlightening questions, build a step for students' cognitive development, use the “macro-micro-symbol” triple representation to carry out student activities, guide students to analyze the properties and changes of matter from the perspective of macro and micro combination, open up the vertical and horizontal connections between knowledge, promote the structuring of knowledge and cognitive ideas, and cultivate students' structured thinking and discipline core literacy.
