초록

초등학교 수학에서는 '같음'을 명시적으로 다루지 않고 등호를 읽는 방법으로 제시한다. 등호의 의미는 크게 연산적인 관점과 관계적인 관점으로 구분된다. 그러나 대부분의 초등학교 학생들은 등호를 연산의 결과로 구한 답을 적으라는 연산적인 의미로 이해한다. 중학교 수학에서 요구되는 대수적 사고를 하기 위해서는 등호의 관계적인 의미에 대한 이해가 바탕이 되어야 한다. 최근에는 초등학교 수학에서 다루는 산술에서부터 등호의 관계적인 의미를 강조한다. 따라서 초등학교 수학에서 학생들이 등호의 관계적인 의미를 경험할 수 있는 활동을 의도적으로 제시할 필요가 있다. 본 연구에서는 초등학교 수학에서 사용되는 같음과 등호의 의미와 등호가 사용된 맥락을 분석하고, 이를 바탕으로 같음과 등호의 관계적인 의미를 강조할 수 있는 방안을 논의하고자 한다.

The concept of equality is given as a way of reading the equal sign without dealing it explicitly in elementary school mathematics. The meaning of the equal sign can be largely categorized as operational and relational views. However, most elementary school students understand the equal sign as an operational symbol for just writing the required answers. It is essential for them to understand a relational concept of the equal sign because algebraic thinking in middle school mathematics is based on students' understanding of a relational view of the equal sign. Recently, the relational meaning of the equal sign is emphasized in arithmetic. Hence it is necessary for elementary school students to have some activities so that they experience a relational meaning of the equal sign. In this study, we investigate the meaning of the equal sign and contexts of the equal sign in elementary school mathematics to discuss explicit ways to emphasize the concept of equality and relational views of the equal sign.
