Abstract
The aim of this study is to look into the didactical background for teaching percent in elementary school mathematics and offer suggestions to improve teaching percent in the future. In order to attain these purposes, this study examined key ideas with respect to the didactical background on teaching percent through a theoretical consideration regarding various studies on percent. Based on such examination, this study compared and analyzed textbooks used in the United States, the United Kingdom, and South Korea. In the light of such theoretical consideration and analytical results, this study provided suggestions for improving teaching percent in elementary schools in Korea as follows: giving much weight on percent, emphasizing the concept of percent as a ratio, underlining the various kinds of change problems, emphasizing informal strategies of students before teaching the percent formula, and utilizing various models actively.
