현장에서 수업을 하다 보면 의외로 학생들이 곱셈구구는 잘 외우고 있지만 곱셈의 개념에 대해서는 잘 모르고 있다는 것을 많이 발견할 수 있다. 이것은 곱셈에 대한 개념을 도입할 때 학생들이 왜 곱셈을 배우는가에 대해서 스스로 절실하게 생각해 보고 발견해 보는 경험이 부족했기 때문이라고 생각한다. 곱셈이 왜 필요하고 곱셈식으로 나타내는 것이 얼마나 좋은 방법인지 학생들이 깨달아 덧셈구조에서 곱셈구조로의 개념의 변화가 일어날 수 있도록 지도한다면 이러한 문제점을 어느 정도 해결할 수 있지 않을까 생각해본다. 따라서, 본 연구에서는 자연수의 곱셈에 대한 이론적 배경과 교육과정을 알고 이를 바탕으로 수학교육 이론에 근거한 자연수의 곱셈의 교수-학습 지도 방안에 대하여 거시적 입장에서 고찰해 보고자 한다.

The purpose of this study is to investigate the effect of learner-centered instructions using instructional materials which are developed in the light of constructivism and implementing practices of the instruction. According to the result of Recall Test, experimental group and comparing group have not statistically meaningful difference. However, in the result of Generation Tests which include the contents not dealt with during the experiment treatments, the two groups have statistically meaningful difference. It can be drawn from the result that students who take learner-centered instruction are in a good readiness for learning of the contents which will be addressed in future.

To acquire the hints of the development of children's multiplication strategies, this study tried to find the differences between the students who learned multiplication and the students who didn't. And we also tried to explore their acquired computational resources. As a result, we confirm that there is a certain direction on the development of children's multiplication strategies according to their grades and the level of acquirement of mathematical knowledge. Moreover, we comprehend that commutative law is an important part of the strategies on two-digit multiplication and that acquisition of the computational resources must precede the learning of multiplication strategies. In the end part, this article proposes a new taxonomy of strategies for multiplication. To support our proposal, we integrated the prior researches with our findings.

The purpose of this study is to analyze errors and treatment behavior during the course of mathematics learning of academic achievement by applying reflective activities in the second semester of the third year of elementary school. The study participants are students from two classes, 21 from the third-grade S elementary school in Seoul and 20 from the comparative class. In the case of the experiment group, the multiplication unit was reconstructed into a mathematics class that applied reflective activities. They were pre-post-test to examine the changes in students' mathematics performance, and mathematical communication was recorded and analyzed for the focus group to analyze the patterns of learners' error handling in the reflective activities. In addition, they recorded and analyzed students' activities and conversations for error type and error handling. As a result of the study, the student's mathematics achievement was increased using reflective activities. When learning double digit multiplication, the error types varied. It was also confirmed that the reflective activities helped learners reflect on the multiplication algorithm and analyze the error-ridden calculations to reflect on and deal with their errors.

The purpose of this study is to investigate gifted students in elementary mathematics how they understand of situations involving multiplication and concepts of multiplication. For this purpose, first, this study analyzed the teacher's guidebooks about introducing the concept of multiplication in elementary school. Second, we analyzed multiplication problems that gifted students posed. Third, we interviewed gifted students to research how they understand the concepts of multiplication. The result of this study can be summarized as follows: First, the concept of multiplication was introduced by repeated addition and times idea in elementary school. Since the 2007 revised curriculum, it was introduced based on times idea. Second, gifted students mainly posed situations of repeated addition. Also many gifted students understand the multiplication as only repeated addition and have poor understanding about times idea and pairs set.

CNNs tend to take a long time to learn and consume a lot of power due to lack of system resources with many data processing units when there are repetitive handles that do not have high performance in the image field. In this paper, we propose a handling method based on a low-power bus that can increase the exchange rate of multipliers and multiplicands within the convolution mixer, which is a tendency activity that occurs when a convolution mixer has multiplication, which is the core element of combination. Convolutional neural networks have proprietary low-power shared processor support and the design was implemented on an Intel DE1-SoC FPGA board using Verilog-HDL. The experiments validated the performance by comparing it with the exchange rate of the multiplier originally proposed by Shen on MNIST's numeric image database.

This dissertation is aimed to investigate the reason why a contextualization is needed to help the meaningful teaching-learning concerning multiplications and divisions of fractions, the way to make the contextualization possible, and the methods which enable us to use it effectively. For this reason, this study intends to examine the differences of situations multiplying or dividing of fractions comparing to that of natural numbers, to recognize the changes in units by contextualization of multiplication of fractions, the context is set which helps to understand the role of operator that is a multiplier. As for the contextualization of division of fractions, the measurement division would have the left quantity if the quotient is discrete quantity, while the quotient of the measurement division should be presented as fractions if it is continuous quantity. The context of partitive division is connected with partitive division of natural number and 3 effective learning steps of formalization from division of natural number to division of fraction are presented. This research is expected to help teachers and students to acquire meaningful algorithm in the process of teaching and learning.

The purpose of this study is to investigate children's informal knowledge of the fractional multiplication and to develop a teaching material connecting the informal and the formal knowledge. Six lessons of the pre-teaching material are developed based on literature reviews and administered to the 7 students of the 4th grade in an elementary school. It is shown in these teaching experiments that children's informal knowledge of the fractional multiplication are the direct modeling of using diagram, mathematical thought by informal language, and the representation with operational expression. Further, teaching and learning methods of formalizing children's informal knowledge are obtained as follows. First, the informal knowledge of the repeated sum of the same numbers might be used in (fractional number)$\times$((natural number) and the repeated sum could be expressed simply as in the multiplication of the natural numbers. Second, the semantic meaning of multiplication operator should be understood in (natural number)$\times$((fractional number). Third, the repartitioned units by multiplier have to be recognized as a new units in (unit fractional number)$\times$((unit fractional number). Fourth, the partitioned units should be reconceptualized and the case of disjoint between the denominator in multiplier and the numerator in multiplicand have to be formalized first in (proper fractional number)$\times$(proper fractional number). The above teaching and learning methods are melted in the teaching meterial which is made with corrections and revisions of the pre-teaching meterial.

Finding the lack of meaningful approaches in teaching multiplication of decimal fractions, this paper tries to show from the standpoints of Dewey, Vergnaud and Brousseau that the cognition of ratio and proportion is essential to the understanding of multiplication of decimal fractions. Based upon such posture, this paper compares the characteristics and approaches to multiplication of decimal fractions in Korean and Japanese textbooks. Finally, this paper suggests ways to develop the concept of multiplication of decimal fractions in Korean textbooks.

Because the existing Skemp's play activities learning has only been done on the offline, the hassles of learning paper production, the understanding of achievement levels, and the difficulty of feedback and compensation have been pointed out as a serious problem. Therefore, the aim of this study is to develop web-based learning tool applied the Skemp's play activities for elementary school students who learn mathematical skills easily in the web environment. To demonstrate the effectiveness of implemented web-based learning tool, we have analyzed questionnaire survey conducted for academic achievement of the third grade elementary school students. The analysis results show that for improving the ability of multiplication and division operation, the learning using web-based tool applied the Skemp's play activities is more effective than the learning based on the existing educational process and the result is statistically significant at the 5% significance level.
