본 논문에서는 스마트폰을 이용하여 수학을 공부할 수 있는 지오지브라의 활용 방안을 제안하였다. 특히 원 및 원기둥 등 도형의 면적 계산 개념을 제안한 아르키메데스의 사고를 지오지브라를 활용하여 할 수 있는 구체적인 자료를 개발하였다. 이러한 자료를 통해 학생들은 도형의 면적을 구하는 공식을 암기하기 않고 스스로 이해하면서 아르키메데스가 제안한 불가불량의 개념을 통해 다양한 도형의 면적과 체적을 구하는 방법을 이해할 수 있을 것이다. 특히 수학을 어려워하는 학생들에게 머릿속으로 사고하기 어려운 내용을 컴퓨터라는 도구를 활용하여 이해할 수 있도록 하였다는 점에서 의미가 있다.

Some properties on the mathematical hyper-dimensional figures by 'the principle of the permanence of equivalent forms' was investigated. It was supposed that there are 2 conjectures on the making n-dimensional figures : simplex (a pyramid type) and a hypercube(prism type). The figures which were made by the 2 conjectures all satisfied the sufficient condition to show the general Euler's Theorem(the Euler's Characteristics). Especially, the patterns on the numbers of the components of the simplex and hypercube are fitted to Binomial Theorem and Pascal's Triangle. It was also found that the prism type is a good shape to expand the Hasse's Diagram. 5 mathematically gifted high school students were mentored on the investigation of the hyper-dimensional figure by 'the principle of the permanence of equivalent forms'. Research products and ideas students have produced are shown and the 'guided re-invention method' used for mentoring are explained.

직관력은 현대와 같이 급변하는 사회에서 어떤 문제의 상황을 전체적으로 파악하거나 그 본질을 인식하는데 매우 중요하다. 특히 공간 직관력은 매일을 공간 속에서 생활하고 있는 우리에게는 더욱 소중한 교육적 대상이 된다. 공간 직관력은 눈에 보이는 구체물이나 감각적으로 받아들여진 사물을 통하여 그 배후에 있는 공간으로서 추상적, 이상적인 것을 감지할 수 있는 힘이다. 수학교육학적 관점에서 보면 공간 직관력에는 시각화(도형을 인식하는 능력, 도형을 구성하는 능력 등), 공간적 관계(도형이나 공간의 확장을 이해하는 능력 등), 공간적 방향 파악(위치를 파악하는 능력 등)을 포함한다. 본 연구에서는 이들 공간 직관력을 육성하기 위하여 초등학교 교육과정과 연계하여 적절한 학습 내용 및 방법을 고찰하고자 한다.

There have been a few mathematic education programs that based on operating activity considering cognitive development level of elementary student, although we can find a variety of computer-aided mathematic teaching methods for elementary school. The purpose of this paper was to examine the effect of mathematical program based on operating activity developed as teaching materials in plain figures. As results of the post-achievement test and attitude test, it was found that the math program has been improved the achievement positively. By a result that inspects mathematical learning attitude of the experiment group, it was found that variable factors such as interest, confidence, self-learning were changed significantly more important in statistics.

공간정보는 도형적인 요소와 결합된 비도형 속성에 의하여 데이터베이스를 형성하고 있어 필요시에는 언제든지 가시적인 형태로 보여줄 수 있어야 그 효율성이 증대된다. 이를 위하여 가장 많이 이용할 수 있는 것이 다양한 형태의 지도이다. 본 연구에서는 지도의 다양한 형태를 구분하여 필요시에 언제든지 보여줄 수 있는 지도 콘텐츠의 데이터베이스를 설계하고 SQL문으로 손쉽게 검색하여 보여줄 수 있는 방안을 제시하고자 하였다. 그 결과, 약 100여 가지의 다양한 지도파일을 인덱스로 구분하여 도엽번호, 지명, 년대별, 주제별로 공간정보의 가시화를 보여줄 수 있었다.

In recent papers (Pak et al., Pak and Kim), it was suggested to positively use the history of mathematics for the education of mathematics and discussed the determining problem of the order of instruction in mathematics. There are three kinds of order of instruction - historical order, theoretical organization, lecturing organization. Lecturing organization order is a combination of historical order and theoretical organization order. It basically depends on his or her own value of education of each teacher. The present paper considers a concrete problem determining the order of instruction for the concept of angle. Since the concept of angle is defined in relation to figures, we have to solve the determining problem of the order of instruction for the concept of figure. In order to do this, we first investigate a historical order of the concept of figure by reviewing it in the history of mathematics. And then we introduce a theoretical organization order of the concept of figure. From these basic data we establish a lecturing organization order of the concept of figure from the viewpoint of problem-solving. According to this order we finally develop the concept of angle and a related global property which leads to the so-called Gauss-Bonnet theorem.

In this paper, we study the symmetry of figures in elementary geometry. First, we investigate the historical and mathematical background of symmetry of figures and we explore the suitable teaching and learning methods for symmetry in elementary geometry. Also we study the major problem of geometry education that occurring in elementary school.

This study is aimed to compare the area of geometry of elementary mathematics textbooks in korea and china. Through this study, we would like to suggest some guidelines in order to develop geometric curriculum and textbooks in korea and to search for more efficient methods of learning mathematics. For this, we have looked through the general characteristics of geometry domain in mathematics curriculums and the textbooks in korea and china. Furthermore, we have found the similarities and differences while comparing specific contents in the two countries. The followings are the conclusions of this study. First, The mathematics curriculum in korea is divided into 'figure' domain, but the one in china is divided into 'space and figure' domain, which deals with figure and measurement. And china constructs the contents of the basic figure as a whole unit. Second, korea gives clear learning aims about contents whereas china gives learning activities. Lastly, when starting teaching a plain figure, korea focuses on checking and finding definitions and characters through fundamental figures. However, china focuses on figuring out components and the relations among them throughout various plain figure activities.

Korean students are taught area formulas of parallelogram and triangle by inductive reasoning in current curriculum. Inductive thinking is a crucial goal in mathematics education. There are, however, many problems to understand area formula inductively. In this study, those problems are illuminated theoretically and investigated in the class of 5th graders. One way to teach area formulas is suggested by means of process of problem solving with transforming figures.

Freudenthal의 수학화 이론에 대한 지금까지의 대부분의 연구는 이론의 탐색에 집중하고 이에 따른 학습 지도 방안과 자료개발에만 역점을 두었던 것이 그 한계점으로 지적되어져 왔다. 이에 본 연구자는 실제 이 이론이 어떻게 학습 현장에 적용될 수 있는지에 대해 첫째, Freudenthal의 수학화에 의한 도형 지도에서 학생이 어떻게 수학화를 이루어 가는지를 조사하였고, 둘째, 학습의 주체자인 학생들의 능동적인 활동을 강조한 수학화 과정에서 교수의 주체자인 교사는 학생들의 수학화가 원만히 이루어지게 하기 위하여 어떤 역할을 수행하게 되는지를 중학교 1학년 학생을 대상으로 사례연구를 실시하여 조사하였다.
