쌓기놀이는 유치원에서의 주요 활동이며, 유아들이 가장 선호하는 놀이일 뿐 아니라 교육적 가치도 크다고 보고 있다. 특히 쌓기놀이는 다양한 크기, 형태의 나무 적목을 사용하여 구성하게 되므로 공간 관계, 기하학적 도형, 대칭, 합동 등의 수학적 경험을 제공할 수 있다는 것이다. 그러나 교육현장에서의 쌓기놀이는 유아가 자유롭게 구조물을 만든 후 이를 극화놀이로 확장되어 전개되는데 그치고 있어 이를 통한 수학적 경험은 크게 기대할 수 없으며 우연적일 수 밖에 없다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 유아의 쌓기놀이를 보다 기하학적 사고와 탐색을 포함하는 교수-학습의 방안을 모색하고 현장 적용성을 검토하고자하였다. 본 연구의 내용은 유아의 쌓기놀이 활동에 기초한 기하학습의 모형을 설계하고, 이를 기초로 한 적용사례를 제시하는 것이다.

The purpose of this study is to analyze Descartes's point of view on the mathematical connection of algebra and geometry which help comprehend the traditional frame with a new perspective in order to access to unsolved problems and provide useful pedagogical implications in school mathematics. To achieve the goal, researchers have historically reviewed the fundamental principle and development method's feature of analytic geometry, which stands on the basis of mathematical connection between algebra and geometry. In addition we have considered the significance of geometric solving of equations in terms of analytic geometry by analyzing related preceding researches and modern trends of mathematics education curriculum. These efforts could allow us to have discussed on some opportunities to get insight about mathematical connection of algebra and geometry via geometric approaches for solving equations using the intersection of curves represented on coordinates plane. Furthermore, we could finally provide the method and its pedagogical implications for interpreting geometric approaches to cubic equations utilizing intersection of conic sections in the process of inquiring, solving and reflecting stages.

In this study, 1 investigated some properties on the special hyper-dimensional figures made by the principle of the performance of equivalent forms representation. I supposed 2 definitions on the making n-dimensional figure : a cone type(hypercube) and a pillar type(simplex). We can explain that there exists only 6 4-dimensional regular polytopes as there exists only 5 regular polygons. And there are many hyper-dimensional figures, they all have sufficient condition to show the general Euler' Characteristics. And especially, we could certificate that the simplest cone type and pillar types are fitted to Pascal's Triangle and Hasse's Diagram, each other.

The purpose of this study is to develop a teaching program in consideration of the geometrical thinking levels of students to make a contribution to teaching figures effectively. To do this, we checked the geometrical thinking levels of fourth-graders, developed a teaching program based on van Hiele's theory, and investigated its effect on their geometrical thinking levels. The teaching program based on van Hiele's theory put emphasis on group member interaction and specific activities through offering various geometrical experiences. It contributed to actualizing activity-centered, student-oriented, inquiry-oriented and inductive instruction instead of sticking to expository, teacher-led and deductive instruction. And it consequently served to improving their geometrical thinking levels, even though some students didn't show any improvement and one student was rather degraded in that regard - but in the former case they made partial progress though there was little marked improvement, and in the latter case she needs to be considered in relation to her affective aspects above all. The findings of the study suggest that individual variances in thinking level should be recognized by teachers. Students who are at a lower level should be given easier tasks, and more challenging tasks should be assigned to those who are at an intermediate level in order for them to have a positive self-concept about mathematics learning and ultimately to foster their thinking levels.

Nowadays the education of Mathematics is more important than any other courses in the school. But the most students have felt the difficulty and uncomfortableness in studying Mathematics, especially the geometry course. Moreover teachers also consider that the teaching of geometry is the hardest part of Mathematics. Therefore we suggest an effective method of teaching the geometry course for the middle school students. We provide the activity papers which contain mathematics problems based on the practical life of students. And we analyze the effects of the activity papers using the questionnaire.

In this paper we study Gergonne's point and its adjoint points of triangle using the principle of the lever. We prove existence of Gergonne's point and its adjoint points, suggest new proof method of a equality related with Gergonne's point. We find new equalities related with adjoint points of Gergonne's points, and prove these using the principle of the lever.

Garment is not only a part of formative art that establishes a live shape by wearer but also space modeling which features the solidity based on human body. Hence, beyond the simple meaning of 'wearing clothes', modeling which makes a cubic shape in accordance with human body's movement, is an important element in garment design. This study examined puli-over-typed garment design that owns abundant space sense, taking complex shapes of geometrical diagrams with brief and simple features as a motive. The study aims at seeking after the combination of plane and cubic forms, and exploring formative garments which are further modern and different variance by approaching the natural section of geomentrical facets with tightfitting idea and composition of delicate colors and forms when plane pattern was put on human body.

The geometric properties of the drainage structures are analyzed through depicting the drainage network which is composed of the whole drainage paths in the natural basin defined at the specific scale. The theoretical consideration is performed on the general structures of networks organized by ramification process based on Fractal tree and Horton's law. The drainage network is generated via ArcGIS, ordered by Strahler's ordering scheme and investigated with Strahler's order. As a results of the Richardson's method it is shown that there may exist the distinct behavioral characteristics between overland-flow and channel flow and the natural stream networks would be space-filling Fractals. As a result, it is shown that the values estimated by considering the overland-flow on being applied to the field data give the different results from the empirical method applied until now. As expected, therefore the results obtained from this study are sure to be devoted further researches on the channel networks.

This study reports the results of analyzing the learning opportunities about the plane figures provided by the first and second grade mathematics textbooks. The plane figures that students learn during this period are important in that it serves as the basis for the later geometric education. With assumptions that mathematics learning is related to the problem of meaning and that meaning-related activity can be viewed as a symbolic activity, it adopts and uses the perspectives and tools of semiotics to analyze the learning opportunities provided by the mathematics textbook. The analysis of the semiotic process of the textbook activities revealed the significance of learning opportunities and helped to distinguish the seemingly similar learning opportunities. Based on the results of the analysis, I discussed the link between learning opportunities provided by grade 1 and grade 2 mathematics textbooks. Finally, the paper concludes with suggestions and conclusions and suggestions for further research.

Kameun temple was constructed in A.D. 682 after 46 year after Chumsungdae was constructed. This paper discusses the scientific implication of Taegeuk stone rods of Kameun temple site through the geometric analysis of their engraved figures. So we can estimate that the west Taegeuk of Kameun temple site has 2 circles comparing the path of the moon with that of the sun leading to the asymmetry in its emblem(Taegeuk) and the east Taegeuk of Kameun temple site has 1 circle representing the path of the sun. The Taegeuks along with around 30 equilateral triangles representing the north latitude $35.8^{\circ}$ give the explicit information of period of the orbit of the moon and the sun. These mathematical methods can explain some relics structure of antiquity with a few historical expounds.
