This study attempts to compare the topic "approximate value" in mathematics text-books of the 2nd year of South Korean junior high schools and that of the 3rd year of North Korean high schools. In addition, a survey questionnaire was distributed to junior and senior high school students as well as to mathematics teachers in South Korea. Based on the results of the survey, this study attempts to uncover the issues within the current teaching methods of "approximate value" and proposes the directions in which the teaching of approximate value should go in order to enhance mathematical thinking power and creativity of the students. First, it Is necessary to teach students how an error applies to the real world. To accomplish this end, it may be worthwhile to consider introducing the relative errors with more seriousness. Second, it is more important to teach the way of thinking which is concealed in the background of the calculation methods of approximate values than to simply teach mere calculation methods. Third, it is necessary to teach the calculation of approximate value with more realistic examples. Fourth, It is needed to teach students what the differences are when the terminology of "approximately" and "about" is used in real life and in mathematics.

남한에서 학습하는 탈북학생들의 낮은 학업성취도가 보고되면서 이 학생들의 학습지원에 대한 관심이 증가하고 있다. 한편으로 통일시대의 준비라는 관점에서 북한 교육에 대한 관심이 증가하고 있다. 탈북학생들의 수학학습 지원에 대한 연구는 주로 인터뷰를 통해 연구 자료를 수집하고, 북한의 수학교육 연구는 교과서 분석을 위주로 하는 문헌연구에 치중되어 있다. 본 연구에서는 함경북도에서 중학교(남한의 중고등학교) 고학년까지 수학한 후 우리나라에서 다시 고등학교 과정을 이수하고 있는 두 탈북학생들을 인터뷰함으로써 학생의 관점에서 북한의 중등학교 수학수업의 모습을 남한과 비교하여 살펴보았다. 인터뷰를 통해 남북한 중등학교 수학수업의 유사점이 차이점 못지않게 존재한다는 것을 알 수 있었다. 인터뷰 분석을 바탕으로 두 학생의 경험이 수학수업 및 평가에 주는 시사점을 논의하였다.

Half century has passed since Korean peninsula was divided into South and North Korea. Now a days, there are many differences of politics, economy, culture and education between South and North Korea. Especially mathematics education in which I am interested has a lot of changes and differences. This is proved true by defects' proof. For those reasons, I compared South Korea's education ideology, goal and system, and goals of mathematics education with North Korea's. I compared geometric(1-4 years, published by Pyong-yang Educational Book Publication Co. 1991) of mathematics texts(1-6 years) which are used in the secondary school with mathematics text of South Korea in contents and organization of them. As a result of this comparison, education ideology and goal are distinctly different from those of South Korea because of the difference of pursuing humanity. In North Korea, the curriculum is very strict without autonomy. There are 1283 mathematics classes which are occupied 19% for six years during the secondary school. The contents are very similar, but there is a little difference in the definition of a term. The problems which praise Kim Il-sung and his son and reveal loyalty to them were found, and there were a lot of problems in order to promote hostile feeling against U.S.A and South Korea, too. In conclusion, mathematics education of Korean peninsula should be reunified in the fields of the terms and contents at first.
