Despite the significance of functional thinking at the elementary school level there has been lack of research on teachers who play a major role in making students be engaged in functional thinking. This study surveyed 119 elementary school teachers to investigate their knowledge of functional thinking for teaching. A written assessment for this study was developed with a focus on the knowledge of mathematical tasks and instructional strategies to teach functional thinking. The results of this study showed that many teachers were able to design tasks corresponding to both the additive relationship and the multiplicative relationship, and to justify some strategies to promote functional thinking. However, some teachers had lack of understanding with regard to the core ideas of functional thinking. Based on these results this study is expected to suggest implications on what aspects of knowledge are further needed for elementary school teachers to promote students' functional thinking.

This study identified the problems of teaching quadratic functions using a translation and a vertex form by completing squares of which method make teaching contents not to be interconnected and tend to interfere students' conceptual understanding. This seems to generated from which the current mathematics curriculum is not organized to deliver the related contents of quadratic functions from polynomial expressions students have already known. To resolve it this study investigates the properties of quadratic functions from a polynomial perspective and discusses classroom implications with a couple of concrete applications.

지리 정보 시스템에서 수치지도 보정(rubber sheeting)이란 물리적으로 동일 지역을 나타내고 있지만 일치하지 않는 두 지도사이의 불일치한 부분이 일치되도록 보정해 주는 것을 말한다. 불일치 종류는 수치지도를 생성하는 방법과 과정 등에서 발생할 수 있으며 또한 시간의 흐름에 따라 변화는 지리 정보의 특성으로 인해 발생하기도 한다. 본 논문에서는 지리 정보 시스템의 성능을 저하시키는 중요한 원인인 불일치 문제를 해결하기 위한 새로운 수치지도 보정 알고리즘을 제시한다. 제시한 방법은 다각형 커널의 무게 중심을 이용하여 다각형을 삼각분할한 후 삼각형 매핑을 적용하는 것이다. 다각형 외부에 위치한 시설물에 대해서도 동일한 방법을 적용하기 위해 제한된 딜로니(Delaunay)삼각분할을 이용하여 외부 영역을 다각형의 집합으로 만들어 주는 방법을 제시한다. 또한 본 논문에서는 수치지도 보정 결과를 평가하기 위한 측정 함수를 제시하였다. 측정 함수는 지리 정보의 특성을 구분짓는 세 가지 중요한 요소인 방향적(directional), 위상적(topological), 측량적(metrical)특성을 이용한다. 그리고 수치지도와 다양한 테스트 데이터를 이용하여 제시한 기법의 성능을 실험하고 그 결과를 측정 함수로 분석하여 제시한 기법이 불일치 해결에 좋은 결과를 보여 줌을 밝힌다.

The purpose of this study is to explore a teaching method of limits of functions with more intuitive and visual of CAS graphing calculators rather than with the rigorous ${\epsilon}-{\delta}$ method. Texas Instruments Voyage200 CAS graphing calculators are used for studying the possibility of the use of technology in calculus course. For this, various related theoretical constructs are reviewed: concept image, concept definition, cognitive conflict, the use of visualization of technology for calculus concepts, the theory of APOS, and local straightness. Based on such theoretical constructs this study suggests a teaching method of limits of functions with embodied visualization of CAS graphing calculators.

Google map has become one of the most recognized and comfortable means for providing statistical information of geographically referenced data. In this article, we introduce R functions to embed google map images on R interface and develop a function to represent statistical graphs such as bar graph, pie chart, and rectangle graph on a google map images.

Pattern activities are useful to develop functional thinking of young students, but there has been lack of research on how to teach patterns. This study explored teaching methods of geometric patterns for developing functional thinking of elementary school students, and then analyzed the lessons in which such methods were implemented. For this, three classrooms of fourth grades in elementary schools were selected and three teachers taught geometric patterns on the basis of the same lesson plan. The lessons emphasized noticing the commonality of a given pattern, expanding the noti ce for the commonality, and representing the commonality. The results of this study showed that experience of analyzing the structure of a geometric pattern had a significant impact on how the fourth graders reasoned about the generalized rules of the given pattern and represented them in various methods. This paper closes with several implications to teach geometric patterns in a way to foster functional thinking.

본 논문에서는 구형 공동의 포텐셜 그린 함수를 효율적으로 계산할 수 있는 기법을 제시하였다. 일반적으로 매우 느리게 수렴하는 구형 공동 그린함수에 Ewald 합 기법을 적용함으로써 매우 빠르게 수렴하는 두 급수의 합으로 그린함수를 변환하였다. 그 결과 매우 적은 수의 계산항만 사용한 경우에도 충분히 수렴하는 정확한 결과를 얻을 수 있다.

The self-organizing feature map of Kohonen has disadvantage that needs too much input patterns in order to converge into the equilibrium state when it trains. In this paper we proposed the method of improving the convergence speed and rate of self-organizing feature map converting the interaction set into Dynamic Gaussian function. The proposed method Provides us with dynamic Properties that the deviation and width of Gaussian function used as an interaction function are narrowed in proportion to learning times and learning rates that varies according to topological position from the winner neuron. In this Paper. we proposed the method of improving the convergence rate and the degree of self-organizing feature map.

This paper investigates the teaching and learning of Linear function relating functional contexts and suggests the improved methods of representation-shift through this analysis. The methods emphasize the link between students' preacquired knowledge of mathematical representations and the way of using those. This methods are explanatory teaching, teaching and teaming based on modelling perspectives or tasks (interpretation, prediction, translation and scaling). We categorize the 8th grade middle school students' errors on the linear function relating real contexts and make a comparative study of the error-remedial effects and the teaching and teaming methods. We present the results of a study in which representation-shift methods based on modelling perspectives and tasks are more effective in terms of flexible connection of representations and error remediation. Also, We describe how students used modelling perspective-taking to explain and justify their conceptual models, to assess the quality of their models and to make connection to other mathematical representation during the problem solving focusing on the students' self-diagnosis.
