The purpose of this study is to reconsider of teaching mathematics problem solving in Korea's elementary school through an analysis of mathematics curricula and mathematics textbooks of the elementary school. As a result, it is found that the problem solving had been emphasized continually from the 4th curriculum to the 2009 revised curriculum. However, contents in their textbooks did not reflect the intent of the mathematics curricula properly. And amount of contents related to teaching about problem solving in the textbooks reached the peak in the 6th mathematics curriculum. Then teaching about problem solving had been weakened gradually. And it is also revealed that there had been a movement to change to teaching for problem solving in the textbooks of the 2007 and 2009 revised curricula. Teaching via problem solving had not been carried out appropriately so far.

This study is related to reinforcement of the continuity between Nuri curriculum and elementary mathematics curriculum emphasized by 2015 revised national curriculum. Considering that teachers tend to rely much more on textbooks than on curriculum, we analyzed the continuity between math-related activities of Nuri manuals for teachers and the elementary mathematics textbooks and aimed to suggest several ways for securing the continuity based on the result of analyses. To do this, we compared and analyzed Nuri manuals (for ages three to five) for teachers and the first and second grade mathematics textbooks in three aspects: mathematical contents, mathematical terms and symbols, and mathematical processes. We adopted the same analysis framework including continuity, discontinuity and reverse continuity as the study on the continuity between Nuri curriculum and elementary mathematics curriculum. As a result, the results of analyses were revealed in three aspects, respectively. We also discussed the results and suggested some implications for securing the continuity of Nuri manuals for teachers and the elementary mathematics textbooks and for revising curriculum and its materials such as textbooks, workbooks or manuals for teachers.

The purpose of this study is to provide basic data for the next curriculum revision, as well as to foster improvements to the quality of the Korean elementary school math classes by analyzing and comparing the Korean 2015 revised curriculum with the current Japanese curriculum of math. To accomplish this purpose, the research questions were set as follows. 1. What are the directions for revising Korean 2015 revised curriculum and the Japanese curriculum for elementary school mathematics? 2. What is the difference between the elements of learning content offered in the respective Korean and Japanese curriculums for elementary school mathematics? The conclusions of this study are as follows. Firstly, although Korea and Japan share common core statistical education objectives, they approach their goals with different methods. Korea focuses on academic competency, while Japan focuses on fostering the "power to live". For the learning process, Korea emphasized process-focused evaluation, while Japan emphasized fostering mathematical thought and thinking through mathematical activities. For class improvement, Korea focused on reducing the learning burden through appropriating the amount of learning by shifting or removing some elements of the learning content. Japan, on the other hand, refocused their attention on improving active learning within the classroom, and also increased the hours of math class within their curriculum. Secondly, there was a difference in the content composition of the curriculums of Korea and Japan. By comparing the elements of learning content, I got the conclusions for the next curriculum revision in Korea.

7차 교육과정을 시행에 앞서, 현재 초등학생들이 수학을 어떻게 생각하고 있으며, 어 떤 이유로 수학에서 학습 부진을 느낄까? 라는 문제의식을 갖게 되었다. 그래서 정규교육의 첫 단계인 초등학교 수학교과에 대한 인식 및 학습 부진에 관한 연구를 시행하고자 했다. 본 연구대상은 대전 ${\cdot}$ 충남 지역에 소재하고 있는 6개 초등학교 6개 반을 선정하여 발달사고과정에서 자신의 생각을 분명하게 나타낼 수 있는 4학년에서 6학년을 연구대상으로 선정하여 교과요인에 대한 설문조사를 하였다. 본 연구는 수학교과에 대해초등학생들이 어떤 생각을 가지고 있고, 어떤 교과요인을 학습하는데 어려움을 느끼는지를 알아봄으로써, 본 연구 결과를 기초로 중학생 ${\cdot}$ 고등학생 ${\cdot}$ 대학생들까지 연속하여 수학교과에 대한 인식을 조사하고 함이며, 새롭게 시행될 7차 교육과정에서의 수학교과 구성면과 수학 학습 및 교수 방법론에 보다 바람직하고 효과적인 시사점을 제공하고자 한다.

The purpose of this study was to analyze the contents on statistics in elementary mathematics textbook according to 2009 school curriculum. And we analyzed the elementary mathematics textbook in the light of data collection, graph understanding level suggested by Cursio. Specially, we analyzed the contents within the framework of evaluation norm suggested in 2015 school curriculum. We expect that this study will be a fundamental reference for the development of textbook according to 2015 school 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.

The purpose of this study is to analyze teachers' understanding of the number and operations area of grades 3 to 6 in elementary school mathematics curriculum and to derive implications for improving teachers' understanding of the mathematics curriculum. To this end, elementary school teachers were asked to develop items to evaluate curriculum achievement standards at each grade level, and then the teachers' understanding of the curriculum was examined based on the collected items. As a result of the study, there was a misinterpretation of the achievement standards in approximately 25% of the questions collected. Typically, cases where the content covered by each grade was confused when using textbooks as a standard, or cases where the difference between the content covered by the two achievement standards could not be completely distinguished were found.

The 7th curriculum sets a basic direction based on learner centered teaching. To this end, the curriculum puts a focus on activity centered classes using teaching tools. In reality, however, elementary school teachers find using the teaching tools in their classes difficult, although there are various studies going on to improve the practical use of the teaching tools in the classroom. In this paper, we present an effective approach to utilize those prior studies on using the teaching tools in classes for 4th, 5th and 6th graders.

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.
