In this paper we solve various triangle construction problems given by three points(a midpoint of side and other two points). We investigate relation between these construction problems, draw out a base problem, and make hierarchy of solved construction problems. In detail we describe analysis for searching solving method, and construction procedure of required triangle.

In this paper we solve various triangle construction problems related with radius of escribed circle using algebraic method. We describe essentials and meaning of algebraic method solving construction problems. And we search relation between triangle construction problems, draw out 3 base problems, and make hierarchy of solved triangle construction problems. These construction problems will be used for creative mathematical investigation in gifted education.

작도 문제는 역사적으로 아주 오래된 문제 중의 하나일 뿐만 아니라, 현재 우리 나라 기하 교육에 있어 매우 중요한 역할을 하고 있다. 즉, 평면 기하의 중심 정리들 중의 하나인 삼각형의 합동 조건들을 도입하기 위한 기초로 주어진 조건들(세 선분, 두 선분과 이들 사이의 끼인각, 한 선분과 그 양 끝에 놓인 두 각)에 상응하는 삼각형의 작도가 행해진다. 그러나, 현행 수학 교과서나 수학 교수법을 살펴보면, 작도 문제 해결 방법 및 지도에 대한 연구가 미미한 실정이다. 본 연구에서는 작도 문제의 특성, 작도 문제의 해결 방법 및 지도에 관한 접근을 모색할 것이다. 이를 통해, 학습자들이 다양한 탐색 활동 속에서 작도 문제를 탐구할 수 있는 이론적, 실제적 근거를 제시하고, 수학 심화 학습에 작도 문제를 이용할 수 있는 가능성을 제시할 것이다.

In this research, we develop a systematic learning the materials on constructibility of cubic roots. We propose two sets of materials: one is based on concepts of field, vector space, minimal polynomial in abstract algebra, another based on properties of cubic roots in elementary algebra. We assess the validity, applicability, defects and merits of developed materials through prospective teachers, in-service teachers, and professionals. It could be expected that materials be used for advanced secondary students, mathematics majoring college students and mathematics teachers. Furthermore, we may expect the materials be useful for understanding and solving the (un)constructibility problems.

In this paper we study errors related with constructing regular polygons in the book 'Method of Ruler and Compass' written three hundreds years ago. It is well known that regular heptagon and regular nonagon are not constructible using compass and ruler. But in this book construction methods of these regular polygons is suggested. We show that the construction methods are incorrect, it include some errors.

수학사를 통해 볼 때 눈금 없는 자와 컴퍼스를 이용한 작도 가능성의 문제는 여러 면에서 의미가 있었다. 종이 접기는 수학과는 무관하게 나름대로 많은 흥미를 끌어 왔다. 그러나 종이 접기가 기하학적 작도와 흥미 있는 관련이 있음이 알려지면서 수학적으로도 연구되었고 더 나아가 수학 학습에의 유의미한 활용 가능성이 제안되었다. 본 글에서는 종이 접기에서 괄목할 만한 수학적 성질을 고전적인 작도 가능성의 문제와 다항식의 거듭 제곱근에 의한 가해성 등과 관련하여 고찰한다. 또, 초 ${\cdot}$ 중등 학교에서 활용 가능한 가상의 수업 프로토콜도 제시한다.

In this paper we study a book 'Method of Ruler and Compass' written in Russia three hundreds years ago. In this book many construction problems related with plane figures and solid figures are solved. In this study we analyze construction method of some regular polygon(square, regular pentagon, regular octagon, regular decagon) suggested in 'Method of Ruler and Compass', give mathematical proofs of these construction.

This study is to compare contents of mathematics textbooks of Korea and Russia laying stress on topic 'congruence of triangles'. We analyze and compare contents description system, relation between congruent conditions of triangles and construction problem, and jestification methods of congruent conditions of triangles in Korean and Russian mathematics textbooks.

Analogical reasoning is a mathematically useful way of thinking. By analogy reasoning, students can improve problem solving, inductive reasoning, heuristic methods and creativity. The purpose of this study is to analyze the analogical reasoning of preservice mathematics teachers while constructing quadratic curves defined by eccentricity. To do this, we produced tasks and 28 preservice mathematics teachers solved. The result findings are as follows. First, students could not solve a target problem because of the absence of the mathematical knowledge of the base problem. Second, although student could solve a base problem, students could not solve a target problem because of the absence of the mathematical knowledge of the target problem which corresponded the mathematical knowledge of the base problem. Third, the various solutions of the base problem helped the students solve the target problem. Fourth, students used an algebraic method to construct a quadratic curve. Fifth, the analysis method and potential similarity helped the students solve the target problem.

In the present study, we analyze four seventh grade students' recognition of geometric properties and the following justification processes while their adopting different construction approaches in GSP(Geometer's Sketchpad). As the students recognized dependency and level-1 invariants by dragging activities, they determined their own construction approaches. Two students, who preferred robust construction, immediately recognized the path of a draggable point and provided step-1 justification. The other students attempted soft construction followed by their recognition of level-2 invariants and the path, and came to step-2 justification.
