In Korea, mathematics education of 1-6 grade students has been taken according to the 7th national mathematics curriculum, which was renovated by the Ministry of Education and Human Resources Development announcement in 1997. The education of probability and statistics has been carried out as a part of this curriculum. We analyze the contents of probability and statistics in 1-6 grade mathematics textbooks and propose the solutions about the problems on the contents of probability and statistics.

As the 2022 revised mathematics curriculum emphasizing competency cultivation was announced, the researcher analyzed the connection between competency, content system, and achievement standards in elementary school mathematics curriculum. The results of the analysis of the link between the competency of the curriculum revision research report, its sub-elements, the 'process and skills' of the curriculum content system, and the achievement standard verb are as follows. First, most of the five curriculum competencies (problem solving, reasoning, communication, connection, and information processing) of the mathematics department are implemented as "process-skills" of the content system, which is further specified and presented as an achievement-based verb. Second, the five competencies were not implemented with the same weight in all areas, and the appropriate process-skills were differentiated and presented according to the content of knowledge-understanding by area/grade group. Third, verbs of the achievement standards were more rich than before in the 2022 revised elementary school mathematics curriculum. Fourth, 'understanding' throughout the entire area was still presented as the highest proportion. Through the research results, the researcher discussed clearly establishing the meaning of problem-solving capabilities in the future and developing and presenting "understanding" as a more specific process or skills.

This research intends to give a practice of mathematics lesson-critique and some perspectives on a mathematics lesson in the elementary school level. We carried out a mathematics lesson-critique on a lesson chosen as a good lesson by a local educational district in Korea. The main themes of mathematics lesson-critique were the reconstruction of lesson models, the pursuit of relational understanding, the activation of mathematical communication, and the didactical transformation by a in-service teacher. Meanwhile we confirmed that we need to discuss the properness and adequateness of contents about division of natural numbers given in the elementary mathematics textbook and teachers' guide according to the revised 2007 mathematics curriculum.

Children's early mathematics education sets the tone for their later learning of mathematics. So the importance of early mathematics education has been emphasized day by day and there has been growing interest in it. The purpose of this study is to examine the possibility of including standards for kindergarten in mathematics curriculum and to select the specific content knowledge for designing mathematics curriculum focusing on continuity of kindergarten and first grade. To do this, continuity between kindergarten mathematics and the first grade mathematics were examined by investigating the five countries' mathematics curricula which include kindergarten level. Based on the results, the content standards of kindergarten mathematics were constituted in the categories of 'number and operation', 'geometry', 'measurement', 'pattern', and 'data and chance', following the some principles of selection. Finally, the implications for attainment of continuity between kindergarten and elementary mathematics were induced, containing the discussion of the methods for teaching and learning mathematics in the kindergarten level.

This study discusses on aims for affective development in national curriculum of mathematics. Firstly, affective characteristics of school mathematics studied in Korea are investigated. Secondly, aims for affective development in the Korean national curriculum of mathematics from the 1st curriculum to the current one are inspected. Thirdly, aims for affective development in national curriculum of Hong Kong, Singapore and Finland are researched. From the result, suggestions on the statement about aims for affective development are proposed.

최근 수학적 사고력 연구가 구체적 수학내용에 기반한 활동과 조작에 대한 연구보다는 활동이나 조작을 통한 결과로 수학적 사고력에 접근하는 일회성 연구로 이루어지는 경향이 있다. 본고에서는 교육 내용을 선정하기 위해 학교수학에서 아동들이 어떤 수학적 사고를 하는데 장애을 겪는지에 주목하여, 이러한 장애를 극복하는 것을 통해 수학적 사고력의 신장을 생각해보고자 하였다. 이에 대수에서는 문자도입에 따른 추상적 상징의 수용과 이용부분에서, 기하에서는 논증기하의 증명도입과정에서 형식적, 연역적 사고 시작으로 아동이 수학적 사고에 어려움을 겪는다는 사살에 주목하였다. 특히 논증 기하의 연역적, 형식적 증명은 논리와 추론이 바탕이 되어야 한다. 그런데 논리와 추론은 고등학교 1학년과정 집합과 명제부분에 들어있어 아동은 논리와 추론에 대한 어떤 경험도, 교육도 받지 않은 상태에서 증명을 하게 된다. 이에 교육 내용으로 수학적 사고력을 신장을 위해 가장 필요한 내용이 논증 기하가 도입되기 이전에 초등학교 5,6학년 아동을 대상으로한 논리와 추론교육이라고 본다. 또한 교육 방법으로는 컴퓨터를 이용한 교육공학적 접근을 하고자 하였다. 교육공학적 접근이 적극 권장되는 교육적 현실과 정규교육과정에서 이를 받아들일만한 시간적 여유가 없음을 감안하여, 교과 내용과 연계된 컴퓨터 교육을 제안하는 바이다. 이에 논리 및 추론 교육은 컴퓨터 교육으로 초등학교의 특기적성 시간이나 정규수업 시간에 이용할 것을 제안한다. 논리와 추론교육을 위해 무엇을 어떻게 가르칠 것인가에 대한 답으로 논리와 추론교육에 적합한 수학적 내용으로 크게 이산수학과 중등 기하의 초등화하여 탐구하도록 하는 내용을, 교육 방법 측면에서는 논리와 추론 교육을 위한 LOGO 기반 마이크로월드를 설계, 이용하여 수학적 사고력을 신장시키고자 한다. 여기까지가 수학적 사고력을 위한 가능성을 모색한 것이라면 후속연구로 이러한 가능성을 실험연구로 검증하고자 한다.

The purpose of this study is to examine the state of problem solving in Korean elementary mathematics. To do this, we considered the meaning of problem and problem solving in mathematics education, and analyzed the mathematics curricula in the longitudinal-latitudinal dimensions respectively. The longitudinal one consists in examining and comparing the all-time Korean elementary mathematics curricula. Meanwhile the latitudinal one consists in examining and comparing the elementary mathematics curricula of Singapore, the United Kingdom, Japan, and France. As a result of analysis, we selected ten sieves for analysing Korean elementary mathematics textbooks according to the 7th mathematics curriculum. By the analysis, we conclude that we teach problem solving quite positively in school mathematics relative to another countries, in particular we have to reconsider some issues including dealing problem solving as a independent content not a process integrated in other contents.

놀이나 게임을 좋아하는 어린이들의 특성과 활동이 왕성한 초등학교 학생들의 발달 단계에 비추어 볼때, 놀이를 통한 수학학습은 효과적이고 흥미를 유발시킬 수 있으며 어렵고 딱딱한 과목에서 조금이라도 해방될 수 있을 것이라고 생각된다. 초등수학에 관한 구체적이고 실험적인 연구를 통하여 놀이 활동을 체계적이고 계획적으로 정리한 Skemp는 초등수학교육과 관련하여 활동 위주의 수업을 많이 하길 권하고 있다. Skemp 놀이 활동은 자투리 시간을 이용하여 학습을 보조하거나 재미로 해보는 종류의 놀이가 아니라 초등학교 교육과정의 전 요소를 학습할 수 있도록 체계적이고 의도적으로 짜여진 놀이 활동으로 모든 수학적 주제를 다루고 있다. 본 연구에서는 Skemp놀이 활동학습을 초등학교 5 ${\cdot}$ 6학년 특별보충반 아동들에게 적용하여 연산능력의 신장과 정의적 영역에 어떠한 영향을 미치는지 알아보았다.

The purpose of this paper is to analyze the elementary school mathematics textbooks according to the mathematics curriculum revised in 2007 which put emphasis on mathematics as a communication, and to find out the implication for improving the mathematics textbook of Korea. Mathematics textbooks are analyzed by five analysis criteria, which are suitability of communication activities, suitability of usage of terms and symbols, suitability of literary expressions, suitability of visual expressions and adequateness of mathematics and curriculum. As a result of analysis, it is found out that communication activities were generally reflected the intent of curriculum but there were incomplete terms usage and literary, visual expressions. So communication among authors, between authors and writers, authors and illustrators is necessary for improvement of mathematics textbooks.
