Abstract

The purpose of this study was to analyze and derive pedagogical implications from elementary mathematics textbooks that align with the revised 2015 curriculum. Specifically, the focus was on the chapters related to simplifying fractions, finding a common denominator, and performing addition and subtraction of Fractions with Different Denominators. The analysis revealed that the overall structure of these chapters was similar across the textbooks, but variations existed in terms of the main activities and the textbook organization. Furthermore, different textbooks employed various types and quantities of visual representations. When designing lesson directions and content, it is crucial to consider the strengths and weaknesses of each visual representation.

이분모분수의 덧셈과 뺄셈은 약분과 통분을 활용하여 분수의 값을 변형시키는 과정을 요구하는 복잡한 과정이다. 따라서 약분과 통분 및 이분모분수의 덧셈과 뺄셈은 필연적으로 밀접한 관련이 있다. 이에 2015 개정 교육과정이 반영된 초등 수학 교과서 국정 1종 및 검정 10종 중 약분과 통분 및 이분모분수의 덧셈과 뺄셈 단원을 대상으로 차시 흐름 및 시각적 표현을 분석하여 교수학적 시사점을 도출하고자 하였다. 분석 결과, 약분과 통분 및 이분모분수의 덧셈과 뺄셈 단원의 차시 흐름은 출판사별 차이가 크지 않고 유사하게 구성되어 있었으나 주요 활동 및 교과서 구성에서 차이가 나타났다. 또한, 각 교과서의 특성에 따라 시각적 표현의 종류 및 개수가 다양하게 나타났으며 이에 따른 장단점을 고려하여 수업 방향 및 내용을 구성할 필요가 있다.
