These days, the importance of the mathematics interaction is strongly emphasized, which leads to the need of research on how the interaction is being practiced in the math class and what can be the desirable interaction in terms of mathematical thinking. To figure out the correlation between the mathematical interaction patterns and mathematical thinking, it also classifies mathematical thinking levels into the phases of recognizing, building-with and constructing. we can say that there are all of three patterns of the mathematics interactions in the class, and although it seems that the funnel pattern is contributing to active interaction between the students and teachers, it has few positive effects regarding mathematical thinking. In other words, what we need is not the frequency of the interaction but the mathematics interaction that improves students' mathematical thinking. Therefore, we can conclude that it is the focus pattern that is desirable mathematics interaction in the class in the view of mathematical thinking.

Mathematical communication is necessary to exchange mathematical idea among participants in teaching-learning process. The promotion of mathematical communication competence is clearly stated in many parts of the 2007 revised curriculum. As a result, mathematical communication tasks are contained in 'high school Mathematics' textbook. At this point of time when increasing importance of mathematical communication is realized, we will check over mathematical communication and analyze communicative tasks corner in 'high school Mathematics' textbook in this paper And thereby we hope this study help prepare for practical communicative tasks corner suggesting a way for invigoration of mathematical communication.

1989년에 NCTM에서 Curriculum and Evaluation Standards for School Mathematics(이하 Standards)를 발간한 이래로 수학교육은 Standards의 정신에 많은 영향을 받아왔다. 90년대의 수학교육은 학생들의 수학적인 문해능력(literacy)의 중요성을 반영하여 학생들이 수학의 가치를 느끼도록 하며, 자신들의 수학적 능력에 대해서 확신을 가지게 하며, 수학적인 문제해결자가 되도록 하며, 수학적으로 의사소통하는 것을 학습하며, 수학적으로 추론하는 것을 학습함으로서 아동들에게 수학적인 힘을 길러주는데 중점을 두고 있다. 특히 수학적 의사소통능력은 학생들의 수학적인 힘을 기르는데 매우 중요하다. 아동들의 수학적인 의사소통 능력을 향상시키기 위해서 교사는 아동들이 상대방의 아이디어가 받아들일 만한 것인지에 대해서는 비판하고 토론을 하도록 하되 발표한 사람을 비난하는 일이 없도록 각 학급에서는 의사소통과 상호작용에서의 사회적인 규범과 사회-수학적인 규범이 형성되도록 해야 할 것이다. 이런 규범을 바탕으로 교사와 학생이 협력함으로써 서로의 아이디어에 대해 원활한 의사소통을 이룰 수 있다. 그래서 무엇보다 중요한 것은 문화공동체로서의 교실내에 의사소통을 촉진할 수 있는 규범을 형성하는 것이라고 할 수 있다. 이런 규범은 교사 혼자의 노력으로 이루어지는 것이 아니라 교실 구성원 전체의 상호작용에 의해서 장시간에 걸쳐서 형성된다고 할 수 있다.

For the students who live in the knowledge-information oriented society, thinking rationally and training mathematical communication ability are necessary. I represented three ways of teaching-learning related to mathematical communication in revised 2006 curriculum of elementary mathematics. In this study, based on three matters from devised curriculum, I have done survey-analysis of mathematical representation and characteristics of contents of major theses about mathematical communication published after 2007 curriculum revision, for further mathematical communication teaching.

The purpose of this study was to provide useful information for teachers by analyzing various levels of teacher-student communication in elementary mathematics classes and students' mathematical thinking. This study explored mathematical communication of 3 classrooms with regard to questioning, explaining, and the source of mathematical ideas. This study then probed the characteristics of students' mathematical thinking in different standards of communication. The results showed that the higher levels of teacher-student mathematical communication were found with increased frequency of students' mathematical thinking and type. The classroom that had a higher level of Leacher-student mathematical communication was exhibited a higher level of students' mathematical thinking. This highlights the importance of mathematical communication in mathematics c1asses and the necessity of further developing skills of mathematical communication.

본 연구의 목적은 수학교실에서 의사소통 불안에 따른 이질 집단과 동질 집단으로 소집단 구성을 달리하였을 때 정의적 영역에서 소집단 협동학습 효과의 차이가 있는지 알아보는데 있다. 이러한 연구 목적을 달성하기 위해 다음과 같은 연구 문제를 설정하였다. 첫째, 의사소통 불안에 따른 동질 집단과 이질 집단간에 정의적 영역(수학적 태도, 자아존중감)에서 차이가 있는가? 둘째, 동질 집단과 이질 집단간의 비교에서 어느 집단의 불안 수준이 정의적 영역(수학적 태도, 자아존중감)에 더 긍정적인 효과가 있는가? 이러한 연구 문제를 해결하기 위하여 독립변인은 협동학습에서의 의사소통 불안에 따른 집단 구성 형태이고 종속변인은 정의적 영역(수학적 태도와 자아존중감)인 원인비교 연구 설계(casual-comparative research design)를 세워 원인비교 연구를 실시하였다. 본 연구의 결과로부터 다음과 같은 결론을 얻을 수 있다. 첫째, 의사소통 불안에 따른 집단 구성방법이 수학과 소집단 협동학습의 효과, 특히 자아존중감 향상에 영향을 끼치기 때문에, 효과적인 협동학습을 위해서 학생들의 의사소통 불안을 측정하여 이질 집단으로 구성할 필요가 있다. 둘째, 의사소통 불안에 따른 집단 구성을 했을 때 이질 집단의 불안 하위수준 학생들이 자아존중감 향상에 가장 큰 효과를 볼 수 있다. 결론적으로, 수학 교실에서의 의사소통 불안은 집단의 상호작용 행동에 영향을 준다고 말할 수 있고 의사소통 불안에 따른 이질 집단은 자아존중감 향상에 효과적인 집단 구성방법임을 시사한다.

최근 수학교육에서는 의사소통이 매우 강조되고 있다. 이는 수학적 대상에 대해 학생들이 읽고, 쓰고, 서로 토론하는 기회를 가짐으로써 (1) 학생의 입장에서는 자신의 사고를 명확히 할 수 있을 뿐만 아니라 서로의 아이디어를 자극 ${\cdot}$공유함으로서 학습활동을 강화할 수 있으며, (2) 교사의 입장에서는 학생들이 생각하고 있는 것에 대한 정보를 파악함으로써 교수의 질적 개선에 기여할 수 있기 때문이다. 본고에서는 수학교육에 있어서 의사소통의 방법, 의사소통에 있어서 교사의 역할, 의사소통의 지도 방안에 대해서 개괄적으로 알아보고자 한다.

The purposes of this study were to identify the characteristics of students with different cognitive styles in the communication process according to the types of mathematical tasks and investigate the effects of their cognitive styles and types of mathematical tasks on their mathematical communication. For this, the investigator selected subjects according to the field dependent-field independent cognitive style by Witkin et al.(1977, p. 7). Mathematical tasks were developed in the areas of numbers and operations, regularity, and measurement according to the four types of Stein & Smith(1998, p. 269), which include the Memorization, Procedures without Connections, Procedures with Connections, and Doing Mathematics tasks. The selected students were divided into homogeneous groups according to their cognitive styles, and their communication processes according to the four types of mathematical tasks were observed through participation and videotaped. The videotapes were then transcribed and analyzed in protocols. The conclusions is that mathematical tasks of high cognitive level had positive effects on the activation of significant mathematical communication among the students and that differences in approaches to tasks according to their cognitive styles influenced their communicative activities in speaking and listening.

The purpose of this study was to investigate how Storytelling in Mathematics Instruction effects students' mathematical communication apprehension. In order to do this, I selected two grade six classes with no significant difference on the Communication Apprehension(CA) test. I applied normal story telling and digital story telling to each of the classes for ten weeks then analyzed the effects through the post CA test. As a result, for Normal Storytelling Class (NSC), there was no meaningful difference in the ex ante and ex post CA test results. However, for Digital Storytelling Class (DSC), there was a meaningful difference in regards to the communication apprehension subgroup. Also, between the two NSC and DSC groups' post CA results, there was a meaningful difference in mathematics lesson and subgroup factors. Consequently, these results suggest the appliance of Digital Storytelling helps lower CA in $6^{th}$ graders participation in math class and subgroup.

This study was to investigate the effects of mathematical history-based mathematics teaching on mathematical communication and attitudes of elementary students, through selecting mathematical history content to apply to elementary mathematics and devising an instruction model to use effectively. For this purpose, while the experimental group received instruction using mathematical history and the comparative group lecture-based instruction using the common textbook, both quantitative and qualitative methods were employed to analyze gathered data. To conclusion, first, instructions using mathematical history were helpful for increasing the student's participation in communication, and secondly helped the students justify their opinions to others with mathematical logic.
