The purposes of the study were to investigate how children define a triangle, their reasoning types in identifying examples and non-examples of a triangle, and the relationship between their reasoning types and geometrical levels. Twenty-nine students consisted of 3th to 6th grades were involved in the study. Using the van Hiele levels of geometrical thought, children's reasoning types for identifying a figure as a triangle or non-triangle were categorized into visual reasoning, reasoning based on the figure's attributes and formal reasoning. The figure's attributes were further divided into critical and non-critical attributes. Most children identified a figure as a triangle or non-triangle based on critical attributes of the figure(e.g. closed figure, three, vertices, straight sides etc.) Some children identified a figure based on non-critical attributes of the figure(e.g. the length of the sides, the measurement of the angles, or the orientation of the figure). Particularly, some children who had lower levels of geometry identified a figure using visual reasoning, taking in the whole shape without considering that the shape is made up of separate components.

The purpose of this paper was to analyze the example spaces related with the concepts of triangles in the 2nd grade Korean elementary mathematics textbooks, investigate the meaning of example spaces, and suggest the implications to teaching and learning geometrical concepts in the elementary schools. Mathematics textbooks are usually major materials in teaching and learning mathematics in Korea, and the content of the textbooks affects the quality of teaching and learning in the classroom. The results of the study showed that the Korean elementary textbooks provided examples with limited example spaces concerning the concepts of triangles. The researcher suggested that we should provide rich examples spaces, encourage learner-generated example spaces, and strengthen the connections of examples between in textbooks and in the classroom.

무게중심에 관련된 연구는 수학과 물리, 수학과 공학 분야에서 폭넓은 활용을 가지는 간학문적 접근의 한 예이며, 실생활에서의 경험을 수학적 개념 및 방법에 관련시킬 수 있는 흥미로운 영역이라 할 수 있다. 본 연구에서는 문헌연구를 통해 균일한 다각형판의 무게중심 개념을 소개하고, 삼각형판과 볼록사각형판의 무게중심의 위치 및 성질을 조사하고, 이를 확장하여 볼록n각형판에서 무게중심의 위치를 탐구하였다.

What is a foundational element of plane geometry? Isn't it possible to constitute the contents of plane geometry from that element? In this paper, we suggest a view point that triangle is a foundational element of plane geometry. And take some examples of reconstruction of usually given contents and mathematical activity centered on the triangle in plane geometry.

We agree with Hanna and Jahnke's assertion on the use of arguments from physics in mathematical proofs and analyze their educational example of the use of arguments from physics in the proof of the center of gravity of a triangle. Moreover, we suggest practical models for the center of gravity of a triangle for the demonstration in a classroom. Comparing with the traditional mathematical arguments, the role of concepts and models from physics in arguments from physics will be clearly pointed out. Also, the necessity for arguments from physics in the classroom will be discussed in this paper.

현재, 중학교에서 사용 가능한 수학 교과서는 8종류인데, 이처럼 다양한 종류의 교과서가 필요한 이유들 중의 하나는 수학적 개념이나 정리 등에 대한 다각적인 접근 방법들을 모색할 수 있는 가능성을 보장한다는 것이다 그러나, 현재의 교과서들은, 예를 들어, 정리의 증명에 있어 비슷한 증명 방법을 제시하고 있기 때문에, 학습자들에게 수학에 대한 폭넓은 시각과 다양한 수학적 아이디어를 제공할 수 있는 기회를 효과적으로 살리지 못하고 있다. 본 연구에서는 평면 기하학의 중요한 정리들 중의 하나인 ‘삼각형의 세 중선은 한 점에서 만나고, 각각의 중선은 교점에 의해 2:1로 나뉜다.’에 대한 다양한 증명들을 살펴보고, 각각의 증명들이 가지는 수학 교육적 의의를 고찰할 것이다.

In this paper we study a equality $\frac{1}{h_a}+\frac{1}{h_b}+\frac{1}{h_c}=\frac{1}{r}$ which contains altitudes and radius of inscribed circle of triangle. We search some paths for proving the equality, and find out 9 proof method of the equality which is related with descriptive geometry, coordinate geometry, and vector geometry.

Large eddy simulation of turbulent premixed flame stabilized by the bluff body is performed by using sub-grid scale combustion model based on the G-equation describing the flame front propagation. The basic idea of LES modeling is to evaluate the filtered-front speed, which should be enhanced in the grid scale by the scale fluctuations. The dynamic subgrid scale models newly introduced into the G-equation are validated by the premixed combustion flow behind the triangle flame holder. The calculated results can predict the velocity and temperature of the combustion flow in good agreement with the experiment data.
