The purpose of this work is to analyze various mathematics programs and related studies for gifted students of secondary school, to extract meaningful suggestions, and to develop some mathematics materials to realize our suggestions. We analyzed mathematics curriculum drafts for gifted students(by KEDI), mathematics program for the gifted students of Russia, and mathematics programs of some specialist of gifted education. We were able to extract some important aspects for developing teaching & teaming materials. Especially in this study we took notice of systematization of mathematical problems, and suggested a model of systematization of mathematical problems.

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.

수학 교육에서 새로운 정보기술의 교육적 사용의 범위는 커지고 교육 모형은 다양해지고 있다. 특히 중등 수학교육에서의 변화에 대한 기대도 커지고 있다. 본 논문은 미국 및 한국의 수학 교육계의 폭넓은 지지를 받는 NCTM의 컴퓨터 및 정보기술 활용에 관한 규준들의 교육적 의미, 방법, 효용 등을 정리하였다. 이어서 컴퓨터과학 교과과정에 포함된 수학 분야에 대한 컴퓨터과학자 Hamming의 견해를 소개하였다. 본 논문은 한국의 중등 교육에도 컴퓨터과학 교과가 시행될 것을 예정하면서 수학 교사들이 미리 컴퓨터과학을 교과과정을 이해함으로 통합 교과적 요소, 특성 그리고 역할 관계를 알아보았다.

현대 사회의 가장 커다란 특성들 중의 하나는 사회의 다양성과 급속한 변화에 있다. 이러한 다양한 사회의 급속한 변화에 대응하기 위해선, 초등학교에서부터 학습자들의 개인적인 특성, 인성, 수학적 흥미를 고려한 수학교육이 이루어져야 한다. 제 7차 교육과정에서 ‘수요자 중심의 교육’을 강조하는 것도 이와 같은 맥락이라 할 것이다. 본 논문에서는 러시아의 초등학교(1-4학년) 수학 교육에서 다양한 학습자들의 수학적 재능과 흥미를 고려하기 위해 제시하고 있는 다양한 유형의 교육과정들을 살펴보고, 이를 통해, 우리 나라 초등학교 수학교육의 다양성 추구를 위한 몇 가지 가능성들을 제시할 것이다.

One of the biggest changes in 2007 Curriculum Revision is introduction of letter, equation, direct proportion and inverse proportion in fifth and sixth grade of mathematics. The purpose of this study is to provide some implications about teaching-learning method for introduction of letters, teaching and learning activities of equation between the 6th Curriculum and 2007 Curriculum Revision. The below conclusions were drawn from findings obtained in this study. First, the letter and expression were learned in fifth and sixth grade until 6th Curriculum and were learned in seventh grade in middle school of 7th Curriculum. But letter, equation are introduced in 2007 Curriculum Revision again. The overall contents of letter and expression were learned on the 'Relationship' domain in the 6th Curriculum, it were learned on the 'Letter and expression' domain in the 7th Curriculum and is learned on the 'Regularity and problem-solving' domain in the 2007 Curriculum Revision. Second, teaching method of these contents was to promise some definitions at first and then to solve exercises in the 6th Curriculum. But leaning was forced to improve student's problem-solving in the 7th Curriculum. To reduce student's pressure offers at a minimum mathematics terms and to provide problem situations to students who contact daily, it is emphasized on learner's communication in the 2007 Curriculum Revision. We want to be easily connected elementary mathematics and higher mathematics through this study about letter, equation. We recognized how we teach the letter and expression to reduce misconceptions and draw a transition from arithmetic thinking to algebraic thinking and want to be continue of another studies.

This paper provides a description of the process in development of textbook unit on measuring length for second grade in elementary school according to action research methodology. The teaching unit development has been done based on the new national mathematics curriculum released in 2006. Mathematical communication and positive attitude toward mathematics are highly emphasized in the new curriculum. These new foci have been analysed through literature review and interviews with two incumbent teachers to be respected in the unit in an appropriate way. Three stages of development with different ways of organizing contents and different problem contexts were reported in the paper.

Assessment in the school should be done consistently in accordance with the national curriculum. This study analyzed the process that preservice teachers developed the question items. The preservice teachers already equipped with the knowledge about the curriculum, didn't reflect it to items at first. However, in the review and modification process with colleague discussions, they get the curriculum coherence faithfully. And the item completeness gets higher such as to conform to the item intent, to help the students easily understand the item and to have the consistency between items.

유치원과 초등학교 1학년 아동은 그들의 발달특성과 학습의 효율성 측면을 고려할 때, 일상생활 경험과 놀이 활동 등을 이용한 활동중심 교육방법으로 상호 연계성있게 수학을 학습하는 것이 바람직하다. 이러한 필요성에서, 본 연구는 현행 교육과정 상에 제시된 수학교육의 성격과 목표, 내용, 교수방법, 평가 면에서 유치원과 초등학교 1학년 간에 얼마나 연계되어 있는 지를 분석해 보았다. 분석 결과, 유치원과 초등학교 1학년 수학 교육과정 간에는 수학교육의 방향 및 목표, 내용 영역, 교수학습 방법, 평가 면에서 대체로 높은 연계성을 보였다. 그러나 교과 편제나 명칭, 세부적인 내용 구성에서 차이가 있었으므로 이를 해결하기 위한 교육과정 상에서의 연계 실천 방안을 제시해 보았다. 그리고 실제 수학 교육 활동측면에서의 실천 방안으로서 활동중심 교수학습 자료의 개발, 수학 영역 설치를 통한 개별화 교육의 실천, 가정과의 협력 방안 등을 제시해 보았다.

This study was composed of series of guidance contents in the sub-field of spatial sense from the 7th curriculum according to the series theory by the level by Gagne & Briggs. As for the guidance contents in this field, this study discovered that it had ‘experiencing the various space senses’,‘operating it mentally (internalization)’, and ‘utilizing and expressing the space sense mathematically’ in order largely. The contents of series constitution by the subject and by the stage, a result of this research, will be helpful to the establishment of achievement standard and valuation standard by the stage.

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.
