This study basically investigated the mathematics curriculum of Finland. The curriculum is similar with the 2009's revised mathematics curriculum of Korea in terms of formats, but is different in terms of contents. The mathematics curriculum of Finland is organized into grade bands: grade 1-2, grade 3-5, grades 6-9. And also, it provides the purpose of each grade bands, the purpose of each content areas, the expectation of assessment tested at the end of grade bands.

The mathematics curriculum revision is currently underway based on the general curriculum revised in 2009. Two of the controversial issues in mathematics curriculum revision are 'grade band' and 'mathematical process'. To consider the introduction of those two aspects in mathematics curriculum, this study compares and analyzes international mathematics curricula focusing on grade band and mathematical process. As a result, grade band is judged to be not necessary, but mathematical process has a potential to provide practical implication for betterment of mathematics textbook and lesson.

The paper is analyzed the mathematics curriculum of Korea and the philosophy of the mathematics education in the history of mathematics education. We have found that the various philosophy of Western mathematics education have led us to various views of the mathematics curriculum of Korea. This change of the mathematics curriculum in Korea have important implications to the didactics of mathematics. This study tried to find out the direction of outlook on the mathematics education in the future.

In this paper we check over some problems in College Scholastic Ability Test(CSAT) Mathematics section and propose some methods to improve the CSAT Mathematics section. CSAT has been changed several times with the change of the school curriculum. A Mathematics amended curriculum will apply in 2009 and we have to reorganize the system of CSAT. We investigate the changes in school curriculum and system of CSAT. Also we make a comparative study of the range of possible questions of CSAT with those of SAT and foreign national entrance exam for college.

Teacher preparation programs are responsible for preparing teachers to be able to perform their work with professional knowledge and skills. What opportunities to learn such knowledge and skills the programs intentionally develop for prospective teachers can be discerned by looking at the curriculum of teacher education. The purpose of this study is to find implications for the curriculum in elementary teacher education in South Korea, especially as that pertains to opportunities to learn teaching mathematics. This paper compares the curricula of 21 teacher preparation programs for elementary teachers in South Korea and in the United States. It finds that the programs in both countries emphasize teacher preparation to teach subject matter and to help elementary students improve their academic knowledge. The overall structures of the curriculums outlined in the programs of both countries are relatively comparable. In terms of the opportunities to learn teaching mathematics, however, they are quite different in what authentic contents they offer. This paper discusses the need for more emphasis on mathematical knowledge for teaching.

Children's early mathematics education sets the tone for their later learning of mathematics. So the importance of early mathematics education has been emphasized day by day and there has been growing interest in it. The purpose of this study is to examine the possibility of including standards for kindergarten in mathematics curriculum and to select the specific content knowledge for designing mathematics curriculum focusing on continuity of kindergarten and first grade. To do this, continuity between kindergarten mathematics and the first grade mathematics were examined by investigating the five countries' mathematics curricula which include kindergarten level. Based on the results, the content standards of kindergarten mathematics were constituted in the categories of 'number and operation', 'geometry', 'measurement', 'pattern', and 'data and chance', following the some principles of selection. Finally, the implications for attainment of continuity between kindergarten and elementary mathematics were induced, containing the discussion of the methods for teaching and learning mathematics in the kindergarten level.

수학과 7차교육과정에서 가장 중요하게 생각하는 점이 수준별 단계형 교육과정이다. 특히, 수준별교육과정이 가장 핵심적인 역할을 하고 있다. 이에 따라 교육과정이 기본형, 심화형, 보충형으로 구분하여 제시하고 있는 실정이다 이러한 교육과정에 따라 수학교과서가 수준별이라는 큰 틀 안에서 구성되어졌다고 볼 수 있다. 하지만, 실제 교육현장에서 현재 출판된 수학교과서에서는 이러한 교육과정의 이상을 충분히 반영하고 있다고 보기 어렵다고 교사들이 느끼고 있다. 이러한 현실에서 새로운 교육과정에서는 이러한 이상을 충분히 고려한 수학교과서가 요구되어지고 있으며, 이러한 요구에 부합한 러시아의 실험 교과서를 바탕으로 하여 고등학교 수학I 수열단원을 중심으로 개인차를 고려한 새로운 교과서의 한 모형을 개발하여 제시하고자 한다.
