  • In this paper, it is insisted that elementary school mathematics has its own identity, Since it can be found out that is not precisely, rigidly, or deductively developed in elementary school mathematics, it must be regarded as a property of elementary school mathematics. But elementary school mathematics and mathematics as a discipline are not different totally. In this paper, it is stressed that they do not share some attributes of each other.

  • Students not only learn mathematics knowledge, but also have the capability of mathematical creativity. The latter has been thought an important task in mathematics education by more and more mathematicians and mathematics educators. In this paper, mathematicians' methods of creating mathematics are presented. Then, the paper elaborates on how these methods can be utilized to enhance mathematical creativity in the schools.

  • Mathematics teachers' knowledge and abilities for effective mathematics teaching has been discussed by many mathematics educators and researchers. This study surveyed the perspectives on the knowledge and abilities for good mathematics teaching of inservice and preservice teachers based on their teaching experiences. The perspectives of the two teacher groups about teachers' knowledge and abilities for teaching mathematics are very different. The results from this study are expected to give information on developing teacher education curriculum and programs.

  • Nowadays, open education is popular in Korea. Various open education methods such as open time, open space, open curriculum, team teaching, small group learning are actively introduced into mathematics education. Current 'open education in mathematics' in Korea can be characterized as the application general education reform movement (open education movement) to mathematics education. This movement is interested in teaching methods rather than contents. In this article, I discussed with the limits and the problems of this application and argued that not the method-centered open general education reform movement but the content-centered mathematics education's own reform movement is necessary for the true mathematics education reform.

  • Writing in mathematics education is widely used in foreign countries. In this respect, it needs to consider the possibility and directions and directions for using writing in mathematics education. For this purpose, three perspectives - constructivism, socio-cultural perspective, symbolic interactionism - on communication in mathematics education have been reviewed. Then the past research on writing in general and using writing in mathematics education was summarized. Finally, directions for using writing in our mathematics class were suggested.

  • The integration of mathematics education is required Fundamentally discussion about the nature and purpose of mathematics education. After the theoretical discussion of that, Practical approach of that can be correctly realized. However, It is the impression that theoretical discussions and practical action about the current discourse about integration in mathematics education are the wrong order. To understand the practical action for the integrated approach in mathematics education, theoretical discussion of the integrated approach of mathematical education is properly required.

  • The mathematics instructional beliefs of a teacher include the exterior mathematics instructional beliefs and the internal mathematics instructional beliefs. These two kinds of beliefs are formed in two kinds of different situations. The situated theory thinks that beliefs are related with the situations; so, the two kinds of beliefs are showed in the different situations. The internal instructional mathematics beliefs effect on the actual mathematics instruction, they ought to be noticeable.
