학교수학의 내용 중에는 수학적으로 깊은 의미를 가지고 있지만, 교실수업에서는 자명한 것으로 취급되어 그 중요성이 간과되고 있는 것이 있다. 본 연구에서는 원주율의 값이 상수라는 익숙한 사실을 그 구체적인 예로 들어 수학적 의미를 재음미하는 한편, 아르키메데스가 원주율을 계산한 방법 속에서 교육적 시사점을 찾아 탐구주제로서의 원주율의 가치를 부각시키고자 한다.

This study investigated three pre-service teachers' mathematical problem solving among hand-in-write-ups and final projects for each subject. All participants' activities and computer explorations were observed and video taped. If it was possible, an open-ended individual interview was performed before, during, and after each exploration. The method of data collection was observation, interviewing, field notes, students' written assignments, computer works, and audio and videotapes of pre- service teachers' mathematical problem solving activities. At the beginning of the mathematical problem solving activities, all participants did not have strong procedural and conceptual knowledge of the graph, making a model by using data, and general concept of a sine function, but they built strong procedural and conceptual knowledge and connected them appropriately through mathematical problem solving activities by using the computer technology.

This study is to analyze mathematically gifted middle school students' characteristics of mathematical thinking and the teacher's role in teaching and learning about the central projection and perspective drawing. And it will help to develop teaching and learning materials for the mathematically gifted. The result of this study is as followings : mathematically gifted middle school students show the various characteristics of mathematical thinking like as intuitive insight, generalization, logical thinking & mathematical abstraction and so on, and the teacher plays roles as instructional designer, facilitator, technical assistant and counselor.

제 7차 수학과 교육과정에서 벡터는 수학 II에서 다루며, 삼각함수, 좌표와 함께 도형의 성질을 대수적으로 탐구하는 중요한 도구이다. 본 연구에서는 벡터 개념을 이용하여 볼록 n각형의 무게중심의 성질을 탐구하고, 이를 바탕으로 '볼록 n각형에서 n개의 중선은 한 점에서 교차하며 교점은 각 중선을 (n-1):1로 나눈다'는 것을 벡터를 이용하여 증명하였다.

We performed the research and education programs using engineering tools such as Mathematica, Microsoft Excel and GeoGebra for the students in mathematics mentorship program of the institute of science education for the gifted. We used the engineering tools to solve the problems and found the rules by observing the solutions. Then we generalized the rules to theorems by proving the rules. Mathematica, the professional mathematical computation program, was used to calculate and find the length of the repeating portion of the repeating decimal. Microsoft Excel, the spreadsheet software, was used to investigate the Beatty sequences. Also GeoGebra, the dynamic geometric software, was used to investigate the Voronoi diagram and develop the Voronoi game. Using GeoGebra, we designed the Voronoi game plate for the game. In this program, using engineering tools improved the mathematical creativity and the logical thinking of the gifted students in mathematics mentorship program.

In this paper, we study the methods of improving an ability of a creative solving mathematical problem belonging to an educational system which every province office of education has adopted for the mathematically talented students. Especially, we give an attention on a preferential reaction in teaching styles according to student's LQ., the relationship between student's LQ. and an ability of creative solving mathematical problems, and seeking for an appropriative teaching methods of the improvement ability of a creative solving problem. As results, we have the followings; 1. The group having excellent students who have a higher intelligential ability prefers inquiry learning which is composed of several sub-groups to a teacher-centered instruction. 2. The correlation coefficient between student's LQ. and an ability creative solving of mathematical is not high. 3. Although the contents and the model of thematic inquiry learning don't have a great influence on the divergent thinking (ex. fluency, flexibility, originality), they affect greatly the convergent thinking - a creative mathematical - problem solving ability. Accordingly, our results show that we should use a variety of mathematical teaching materials apart from our regular textbooks used in schools to improve a creative mathematical problem solving ability in the process of thematic inquiry learning. Also we can see that an inquiry learning which stimulates student's participation and discussion can be a desirable model in the thematic mathematical classroom activities.

This study investigates how the GSP helps gifted and talented students understand geometric principles and concepts during the inquiry process in the generalization of the internal triangle, and how the students logically proceeded to visualize the content during the process of generalization. Four mathematically gifted students were chosen for the study. They investigated the pattern between the area of the original triangle and the area of the internal triangle with the ratio of each sides on m:n respectively. Digital audio, video and written data were collected and analyzed. From the analysis the researcher found four results. First, the visualization used the GSP helps the students to understand the geometric principles and concepts intuitively. Second, the GSP helps the students to develop their inductive reasoning skills by proving the various cases. Third, the lessons used GSP increases interest in apathetic students and improves their mathematical communication and self-efficiency.

일선 교육 현장에서 영재를 지도함에 있어서 해결해야 할 당면 과제는 판별 도구와 학습 프로그램의 개발이다. 영재를 위한 수학 프로그램을 문제 해결형, 수학 탐구형, 과제 해결형의 3가지로 분류할 경우, 퍼즐은 문제 해결형과 수학 탐구형 프로그램의 특성을 공통적으로 갖고 있는 유형으로 수학적 지식의 통합과 연결성. 그리고 창의적 문제 해결력 신장 및 수학적 원리 ${\cdot}$ 법칙을 체험적으로 만들 수 있는 기회를 제공한다는 점에서 매우 가치있는 프로그램이다. 특히 조작퍼즐은 기존의 대수적 표현 체계로 학습하기가 힘든 관찰력이나 공간에 대한 인식과 표현력 친 공간 추론력을 기르는 데 유용하며, 게임적인 요소가 포함된 퍼즐은 지필에 의존해 왔던 수학학습에 대한 부정적인 인식을 해소하는 데 크게 기여할 것이다. 본 고에서는 수학 퍼즐의 종류 및 특성과 교육적 가치에 대해서 개괄적으로 살펴보고, 실제 프로그램 작성을 위한 정보를 제공과 영재들의 공감 감각을 기르기 위한 프로그램의 원을 이용한 수학 퍼즐의 개요를 제시한다.

The purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of memory retention of mathematical concepts in multiplication in the inquiry-based pantomime instructions. Three months later after the pre-test, a comparison was made between traditional class (TC) and class with the inquiry-based pantomime (IP) approach in terms of students retention of mathematical understandings. Results of the study indicated that the If instructions promoted effective long-term retention of knowledge. We concluded that instructional strategies that promoted active engagement in learning using life examples and drawings produced effective long-term retention of knowledge.

다각형에서 가장 기본이 되는 삼각형과 사각형의 종이를 접을 때 마다 다양한 규칙성들이 발견될 수 있다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 이런 종이접기를 통한 패턴 탐구를 통해 문제를 형식화거나 일반화 하는 능력과 수학적으로 사고하는 능력 즉, 귀납적 추론력을 길러주고자 함에 목적을 두고 있다.
