In this study I compared Korea's elementary school mathematics curriculum and its handbook with Japan's curriculum and its handbook. Based on that work, I induced some suggestions which is useful to develop mathematics curriculum in the future. First, the purposes of Korea's elementary school mathematics curriculum focused on the system of mathematics, scholastic ability and learning volition. On the other hand, Japan's curriculum concentrated on the utility of mathematics in daily life and the motive of learning mathematics. Secondly, purposes of mathematics education written in Japan's curriculum handbook, differing from Korea's, are closely divided into concrete items. Finally, purposes of mathematics education in each grade, written in Japan's curriculum handbook, are presented in outlined form according to general purpose of mathematics curriculum. The merit of this way is that the researcher could display flexibilities and creativities in making mathematics textbook.

The study examined on the general educational system, the structure of the document of mathematical curriculum, and the characteristics of the achievement standards written in the document of France in order to compare with Korean primary mathematics education. French pupils learn about 5% more hours than Korean sixth grade pupils, and French document of mathematical curriculum describes the contents included in the documents more concretely than us. There were a large differences in the subjects both of mixed calculations and division of fractions in the area of number and operations. The study proposed the necessity for researches on the concrete description of the document of mathematical curriculum, more concrete examples to use to teach pupils on the viewpoints of school mathematics, and the learning sequences and methods of the division of fractional numbers. At last we proposed to need rethink of the importances and teaching methods of calculations.

The Korean national curriculum will be revised in 2015. Before revisions are to be made, we must discuss the direction the curriculum changes will take. In this study, we compare the contents of the current 2011 elementary school mathematics curriculum in Korea with the Common Core State Standards for Mathematics (CCSSM) in the United States. The results from this comparative analysis may be helpful in the revision of the Korean mathematical curriculum. We find that the CCSSM introduces certain mathematical concepts earlier and in greater detail than the Korean curriculum does. The CCSSM also covers a broader range of mathematical concepts. These results indicate that the Korean curriculum needs to emphasize conceptual understanding, as well as procedural skill and fluency, in the early grades. Moreover, the 'grade band' is unnecessary in the mathematics curriculum. The Korean curriculum revision process must be debated more intensely, must be made public, and must take into consideration the key points of CCSSM.

본 연구는 ICT를 활용하여 수학과 교수 학습 과정안을 만드는 과정을 통하여 교원 양성기관의 교육과정에 ICT활용 교육방법의 도입과 함께 예비 수학 교사들의 ICT활용 능력을 키우고자 하는데 목적이 있다. 또한 이로써 ICT활용 교수 학습 과정안을 학교 수업에 적용함으로써 단순히 방법적 측면에서의 도구적 교체가 아닌 교육의 패러다임 변화를 통한 학습과정의 질적 개선을 추구하는데 궁극적인 목적을 둔다 수학교육론시간에 학부생을 대상으로 직접 ICT활용 교수 학습 과정안을 만들었으며 중학교 수학 1, 2학년 교과 내용을 211개의 교수학습 과정안으로 개발하였다. 이를 위하여 교과서 및 교육과정 분석 교수학습 모형정립 등의 과정을 거쳤으며 내용적 연구와 함께 과정안의 구현을 위한 기술공학적 실습 과정을 병행하였다.

In this paper, to provide an idea for the 2022 revised mathematics curriculum by restructuring the content of the 2015 mathematics curriculum, the content elements of recurring decimals of textbooks, which showed differences in the curriculum of Korea and Japan, were analyzed. As a result of this study, in Korea, before the introduction of the concept of irrational numbers, repeating decimals were defined in the second year of middle school, and the relationship between repeating decimals and rational numbers was dealt with. In Japan, after studying irrational numbers in the third year of middle school, the terminology of repeating decimals is briefly dealt with. Then, when learning the concept of limit in the high school <Mathematics III> subject, the relationship between rational numbers and repeating decimals is dealt with. Based on the results of the study, in relation to the optimization of the amount of learning in the 2022 curriculum revision, implications for the introduction period of the circular decimal number, alternatives to the level of its content, and the teaching and learning methods were proposed.

초${\cdot}$중등학교 수학교육에 있어서 문제해결에 대한 관심은 전세계적으로 점점 높아지고 있다. 우리 나라 에서는 문제해결 교육을 제 4차 교육과정 개정부터 시작하여 제 7차 교육과정에서도 아주 중요시 하고있다. 이렇게 교육과정의 변화에도 불구하고 수학 교육헌장에서 교사들의 문제해결에 대하여 갖는 인식도나 실천적 의지는 매우 부족하다. 이런 관점에서 첫째는 문제해결력에 관한 제 7차교육과정의 교과서를 분석함으로써 문제해결 지도에 사용되고 있는 문제의 유형을 분석하였다. 둘째는 교사들의 설문지를 통하여 수학 교육에서 문제해결을 위한 교사의 신념을 조사하여 교육 현장에서 문제해결력의 문제점을 분석하여 앞으로의 개선책을 알아본다.

There are some geometry achievement standards presented indistinctly in middle school mathematics curriculum revised in 2011. In this study, indistinctness of some geometric topics presented indistinctly such as symbol $\overline{AB}{\perp}\overline{CD}$ simple construction, properties of congruent plane figures, solid of revolution, determination condition of the triangle, justification, center of similarity, position of similarity, middle point connection theorem in triangle, Pythagorean theorem, properties of inscribed angle are discussed. The following three agenda is suggested as conclusions for the development of next middle school mathematics curriculum. First is a resolving unclarity of curriculum. Second is an issuing an authoritative commentary for mathematics curriculum. Third is a developing curriculum based on the accumulation of sufficient researches.

This study investigated school mathematics curriculum of the State of Georgia in the United States focused on the 'number and operation' and 'algebra' domain. On the basis of its understanding, this domain was compared and analyzed with school mathematics curriculum of Korea. In doing so, this study explored its plans and procedures and established a frame of comparison for the curriculums between the two countries. The most noticeable difference between the former and the new curriculum in mathematics for Georgia schools is the use of performance standards. A performance standard has four components: a content standard, illustrative tasks, examples of student work, and a commentary for teachers. This study focuses on the content standard and according to the results of the present study, Korea focuses on the formal and systematic mathematical knowledge on the basis of sound understanding of certain mathematical terms or concepts. On the other hand, the State of Georgia curriculum tends to deal with the content which can be understood more intuitively, flexibly, and naturally through the experience, aquisition, and furthermore interpretation based on the concrete manipulation and technological devices.

This study is a comparative study on the Korean and Chinese elementary school mathematics curriculum. Korea and China have announced a new mathematics curriculum in 2011, and have recently carried out in the whole school year. Korea and China are the countries to manage the national curriculum. The comparison with China is significant because of the similarity of our tradition and culture. In addition, the influence of Chinese education has been increasing gradually. Thus, the curriculum comparison between China and Korea has a significant value. Through this study, I extract the significant implications of mathematics education in Korea. This study can be summarized as the following. First, I have analyzed the elementary mathematics curriculum document systems in Korea and China. Second, I compared the goals of mathematics education in Korea and China. Third, this study compared the content areas and learning in elementary school mathematics curriculum in Korea and China. Fourth, I have analyzed the teaching and learning methods and the assessment of Korea and China. Finally, we compared and analyzed the proposed points for action set out in elementary school mathematics curriculum courses in Korea and China. The results of this study are expected to provide significant implications for the new curriculum document structure and mathematical contents of Korea.
