The purpose of this study is to systematically analyze the results of the existing research on mathematical beliefs, compare and synthesize the valuable results and to suggest implications for mathematical beliefs and research. As a result of checking the methodological quality of 59 articles in total using the MQA(Methodological Quality Assessment) checklist, most of them surveyed mathematical beliefs using questionnaires, and most of the studies were conducted on prospective teachers. As a result of systematic review, the conceptual characteristics of mathematical beliefs, object-specific characteristics, and the educational influence of mathematical beliefs were able to synthesize the meaning. Mathematical beliefs had important educational influences in the practice of teachers, students, and math classes. As the results of the study, we emphasize the importance of changing the beliefs of students and teachers in order to solve the problem of mathematical education, where students rely on private education rather than activity thinking, and teachers do not pay attention to students thinking. It has been shown that concrete support is needed for practicing participatory instruction focused on mathematical thinking.

In this paper we intended to present the case of mentorship program for the gifted in elementary mathematics education, which is related with Waldorf education. We installed the program to four six-grade students during six months. We focused on cultivating integrated perspective, aesthetic perspective and substantial skills. For the aim we dealt with the item, construction based on the aesthetic experiences. Finally we presented three main ideas, construction of regular polygons and flowers, construction of islamic design, and farmland cleanup with construction. We also contained the students' project in this paper.

고대의 인도수학은 산스크리트어로 쓰여 있고, 최초의 기하학은 베다문헌으로 경전 속에 포함되어 있으며, 성스런 제단이나 사원을 설계하기위해서 발전하였다. 고대 인도의 많은 수학자들은 힌두교의 성직자들로 일찍이 십진법, 계산법, 방정식, 대수학, 기하학, 삼각법 등의 연구에 공헌하였다. 인도 기하학은 양적이며 계산적이지만 원리를 가지고 문제를 해결하는 특성이 있다. 그러나 고대 그리스 기하학은 공리적이고 연역적으로 전개되는 완전한 학문으로 발전하였다. 고대 인도와 타 문명권의 기하학을 비교하는 것은 오늘날 문제해결을 중시하는 현대과학의 시대에 가치와 의미가 있는 것으로 사료된다.

Studying functions is the fundamental that makes people understand complicate social events by using mathematical symbol system. But there are not enough program design and Teaching-learning strategy for mathematical-gifted student. So this research aim to design education program and teaching-learning strategy in functions area for mathematical-gifted student. 1 use real life-related problems to make students develop their problem-solving skill. And in this research I encourage students to study functions by grouping, discussion and presentation for self-directed teaming.

This study analyzed Japan, Taiwan, Hongkong, Finland, and China National Mathematics Curriculums to find the implications to improve Korean High school Mathematics curriculum. First, at the aspect of mathematics education goals, we can consider to select the logical thinking, the use of mathematics, and the mathematical inquiry in the cognitive domain and self-confidence, brevity, a sense of accomplishment, and the value of mathematics in the affective domain. Second, when high students consider their course, he/she should be able to select mathematics subjects according to her/his desired career and/or major. Third, I found that sine rule, cosine rule and correlation were included as compulsory contents of Japan, Taiwan and China but not Korea. Finally I suggest that we need to show and explain kindly the range of the contents and to develop the Korean mathematics curriculum model.

The east-asian mathematics is highly evaluated in mathematics education. In this paper, we search the geometric problems of east-asian mathematics in high school textbooks and various examinations and investigate how to use such problems. We also confirm that the geometric problems of east-asian mathematics can be widely used as real life materials for introducing new mathematical topics, real life applications for mathematical topics, and valuable source for mathematical discourse.

한 가지 문제에 대한 다양한 풀이 방법을 탐색하는 것은 수학적 대상의 성질을 발명, 일반화하는 것 뿐만 아니라, 학생들의 지적인 유창성 및 유연성 계발, 수학에 대한 심미적 가치의 함양을 위한 의미 있는 교수학적 경험을 제공할 수 있을 것이다. 본 연구에서는 고등학교 '미분과 적분'에 제시된 사인의 덧셈정리에 대한 다양한 증명 방법을 제시하고, 이를 분석하여 수학교수학적으로 의미로운 시사점을 도출하였다. 이를 통해, 사인의 덧셈정리에 대한 새로운 증명 방법의 탐색, 사인의 덧셈정리의 수학교수학적 활용의 다양한 가능성을 모색할 수 있는 기초자료를 제공할 것이며, 제시된 증명 방법들은 '미분과 적분'의 지도에서 심화학습 자료로도 활용할 수 있을 것이다.

It is the importance of Lifelong Education that is gradually more and more increased and publicly mentioned as the population of current society is aging even very rapidly. Especially the vivid activity of human being's brain is emphasized rather than before for the protection of senile dementia as people consider the sound life worth. This paper suggests mathematical education that is applicable and suitable for the emotional and cognitive level of the aged as the way of new method. I suggest the 'silver math' that may strengthen memory, thinking power and logical power of the aged, further cause the interest through games with mathematics, finally uplift the self-perception and pride. Thus, several basic elements are proposed here in this paper, that can be the foundation for the systematic and specific research of 'silver math'.

The purpose of the study was to examine the effects of the reciprocal peer tutoring in high school students' affective characteristics with respect to mathematics. The study was conducted with 111 first graders in one high school located in Gyeonggi-do, and the study lasted for 1 year in regular mathematics classrooms. According to the results, reciprocal peer tutoring was very effective in improving students' interest and self-efficacy toward mathematics and reducing mathematics anxiety. Especially, in high and low performing student groups, there were statistically significant improvements in affective factors such as interest, self-efficacy toward mathematics, and mathematics anxiety after reciprocal peer tutoring. However, average performing student group showed statistically significant improvements in affective factors of interest and self-efficacy toward mathematics.

Problem posing activity of which a learner reinterprets an original problem via a new problem suggested, is a learning method which encourages an active participation and approves self-directed learning ability of the learner. Especially gifted students need to get used to a creative attitude to modify or reinterpret various mathematical materials found in everyday usual lives creatively in steady manner via such empirical experience beyond the question making level of the textbook. This paper verifies the possibility of lesson on question making strategy utilization for creativity development of gifted class, and analyzes various cases of students' trials to modify the rules of a board game called Rummikub in application of their own mathematics after learning What-If-Not strategy.
