수학교과서는 수학 교수-학습의 매개체로서 그 변화에 대한 비교 연구는 수학 교육을 조명하는데 있어 의미있는 일이라 할 수 있다. 그러나 국가간의 수학 교과서를 비교 ${\cdot}$ 분석한 것은 여럿 있으나 우리나라 교육과정의 변화에 따른 비교 ${\cdot}$ 연구는 드물다. 이에 본 연구는 제 6, 7차 교육과정에서 실용수학의 편제 ${\cdot}$ 성격, 목표, 영역명의 차이점은 무엇이며, 내적체제 면의 유사점과 차이점 및 각 영역에서 학습 내용의 유사점과 차이점이 무엇인가에 대한 비교 ${\cdot}$ 분석을 통하여 우리나라 6. 7차 교육과정에 따른 실용수학 교과서의 문제점을 도출하고 좀 더 나은 교과서 개발에 기여하고자 하는데 그 목적이 있다.

The study of 2011 education course revision proposal suggests that middle school level function shall be taught with emphasis on its role as tool to understand the situations of actual world, and the concept shall be extended in high school into formularized setting that integrate various fields based on middle school function. In revising education course, the circumstances of other countries are desired to be considered to keep abreast of international standard education courses. In this study, the textbooks of Gesamtschule a general school a school type similar to the education system in Korea among various school forms of Germany were selected to look into the characteristics of function introduction and teaching & learning in Germany, and the textbooks were compared and analyzed with those of Korea. As a result of comparison and analysis on the system and contents with emphasis on function area, German textbooks differed from the 7th revised education course on the introduction of function concept, contents development method and method of instructing on graph etc. Such differences are anticipated to serve as data for reference in the development of revised education courses and textbooks in Korea.

In school mathematics, gakdo(korean, ie angular measure in english) lost effectiveness as a term, on the other hand, an expression gak-ui-kugi(korean, ie size of angle in english) is prevalent these days. So it is necessary to accept this expression. It is necessary to specify in textbook that the size of angle rely on the degree of gap between two edges regardless of the length of edges. The content of curriculum manual and the content of textbooks must be reconciled. Random units for measuring the size of angle are not contained in textbooks. It can be possible, but it is not carried out actually. So, it is necessary not to require it in curriculum manual considering this circumstance. In curriculum manual, it is necessary to specify the role of 1-right angle as a standard unit, and situations to use it must be presented in textbooks. In cut-paste method of finding the sum of the size of three angles in a triangle and the sum of the size of four angles in a quadrilateral, keeping a straight angle and one rotation in mind, an explanation is based upon a premise that students know how to express the $180{^{\circ}}$ and $360{^{\circ}}$ in figure as a result. It is a leap of logic.

In this paper we analyze various programs of our and other countries related with university-level program in mathematics. We develop two university-level programs 'Calculus I 'and 'Calculus II'. In detail we describe course of study, educational objectives of these programs.

In this study, an implication has been drawn for the textbook development and teaching and learning process as a congruence of a figure is compared and analyzed between Korean elementary mathematics textbooks and American elementary math textbooks. Based on the result of comparison and analysis in congruence contents between Korean and EM textbooks, some applications for the development of figure and congruence chapters in Korean textbooks are as below. First of all, in term of congruence, activities related to congruence need to be introduced after the concept of congruence is defined either with illustrations of fundamental figures such as a segment and angle or with examples of polygon. Second, it is required to assist students to realize that compasses can be used to copy length. In Korean textbooks, compasses are being introduced as a tool to draw circles, which causes children to have difficulty in drawing triangles. Last, for the implication of congruence, tessellation suggested in American Everyday Mathematics textbooks is worth being applied to the development of Korean textbooks.

It is well known that the low achievement students are easily affected by the ways how the materials are organized and presented. So the studies on trying to find how those students' responses are differed according to the organization or presentation of the materials are necessary. This paper was based on the results of Korean Elementary 3 Grade Students National Diagnosis Assessment on Basic Scholastic Ability in area of mathematics. We analyzed students responses through combining the percents of correct answers with the assessment items. After that, we identified the properties of low achievement students in mathematics and presented some guides which, we thought, are helpful for improvements of mathematics textbooks and teacher guide books.

The purpose of this study was to analyze the research trends of mathematics textbooks to provide implications for future textbook research. For this purpose, 123 research papers related to mathematics textbooks, published in seven professional domestic journals during recent five years, were selected. The papers dealing with Korean mathematics textbooks were analyzed by school levels (i.e., elementary, middle, or high school), mathematics content areas, analytic methods, and implications. The results of this study showed that many studies analyzed elementary mathematics textbooks, specifically in the content strand of number and operations. The frequent analytic foci were given to content areas along with mathematical rigor or the development of alternative mathematics textbooks. In comparison with the previous research trend, there was an increasing number of studies in which detailed implications or ways of re-constructing mathematical topics were discussed on the basis of thorough analysis of textbooks. This study also included an analysis of papers comparing Korean mathematics textbooks with foreign counterparts or analyzing foreign mathematics textbooks to elicit implications for Korean mathematics textbooks in terms of reasons of the comparison, school levels, and analytic foci. This paper closes with implications for textbook research.

초등 수학 교과의 내용을 아동들에게 정확하게 가르치기 위한 목적으로 교사에게 제공되는 교수-학습 자료 지침서로서 교사용 지도서의 역할은 대단히 중요하다. 그러나, 수학을 전문적으로 전공하지 않은 초등교사의 입장에서는 각 차시별로 전개되는 내용들 사이의 연관성이나 위계성에 대한 보다 더 상세한 지도내용에 대한 안내가 필요할 것으로 사료된다. 따라서, 본 연구에서는 초등수학 3-나 단계를 중심으로 각 차시별로 전개되는 내용들 사이의 연관성에 대한 보다 더 상세한 지도내용 뿐만 아니라, 수학사 및 실생활 관련자료, 동기유발 자료 등을 이용하여 수학사 및 교사용 지도서를 수정, 보완하여 재구성한 후, 일선 학급에 투입한 후, 교사들과 아동들의 반응들을 분석하여, 향후 보다 더 개선된 교사용 지도서를 만들 수 있는 아이디어를 제시 하고자 한다.

우리는 공간적인 패턴, 모양, 그리고 움직임의 세계-즉, 기하의 세계-에 살고 있다. 아동들은 그들의 환경에 자연스럽게 매혹되고, 보고, 듣고, 움직임으로써 계속해서 정보를 받아들이므로, 그들의 공간적인 능력은 일반적으로 수(數)기능을 능가하기도 한다. 이러한 차원에서 볼 때, 우리나라의 수학과 7차 교육과정에 공간 감각을 기르기 위한 내용이 새로이 추가되었다는 것은 아주 고무적인 일이라고 생각하며, 이와 관련하여 문헌 연구를 통해서 공간감각에 대한 개념을 살펴보고, 교육과정 및 교과서를 분석하여 공간감각을 길러줄 수 있는 내용을 체계화하며, 공간감각을 증진시킬 수 있는 교구 활용 방안을 제시하고자한다.

The picture of the mathematics curriculum should carry the complex role of relieving the difficulties of mathematics while conveying the core of the mathematics contents well. This study examined the precedence of picture and text harmony and the importance of emotional expression. The discussion of children's picture books became an important reference in this process. The understanding of the child's psychology and cognitive characteristics in the long history of picture books and the insight into the relationship between text and pictures will be important guidelines for elementary school textbooks. Based on these previous studies, this study found some impressive examples of Chinese, Japanese, Indian, and American textbooks on the two complementary relationships between paintings and texts and emotional expressions of paintings. If necessary, we compared these textbooks with Korean textbooks. Through this analysis, this study draws some implications for Korean textbook drawing and textbook production process. That is, the process of reading the picture and interpreting its meaning should be treated as part of the study of mathematics. The mathematical concepts to be dealt with or the sentence description of the problem should be concurrent with the design of the picture. The monotonous expressions and dialogues of characters in textbooks should be avoided, and the personality and emotions of characters should be more abundant and freely expressive.
