This study is for using applications on smart devices at school class which designed by professor himself due to nonexistent of applications which related to textbook or course work even though fast developing smart devices and plenty of educational applications are in rapid ubiquitous environment. That is reason to make a learning environments of study course work anywhere at anytime and also make smooth communication between professor and learner with the smart devices advantages of being free of location and time. Also develop the application with the tools which the computer beginner can handle easily and quickly without contracting the work to commercial firms, it will lead to save money and time, be easily updated and modified from place of study, and increase the effectiveness and efficiency of study.

The purpose of this study is to analyze the influences of discussion-based learning of mathematics using smart phone application on the middle school students' mathematics learning. For this purpose, we selected 6 open problems suitable for learning mathematical reasoning and five 3rd grade middle school students as participants who expected to participate in 6 lessons of discussion-based learning of mathematics using smart phone application. From the analysis of 6 lessons, we found the following results. First, attending the lessons of discussion-based learning of mathematics using smart phone application makes students more interested in mathematics and change their mathematics learning attitudes more positively. Second, the lessons of discussion-based learning of mathematics using smart phone application facilitate students' mathematical communication with the help of various communication methods using many functions of smart phone applications. Third, the lessons of discussion-based learning of mathematics using smart phone application provide teachers with teaching-learning environment where teachers can easily give their students consultation about mathematics learning or daily life.
