In the early days, the use of concept maps in mathematics education focused on how to represent mathematical ideas in the concept map. In recent years, however, concept maps have proved beneficial for improving problem solving ability. Conceptual diagrams can be used for collaboration among students, tools for exploring problems, tools for introducing problem structures, tools for developing and systematizing knowledge systems. In this study, we focused on the structure analysis of mathematical problems using Concept Map based on the analysis of previous research. In addition, we have devised a method of using concept maps for problem analysis and a method of analysis of systematic mathematical problem structure. The method developed in this study was found to have significant value by applying to the university scholastic ability test.

This paper investigates how Mind map, Concept map, and Vee diagram facilitates learning mathematics. It also analyzes characteristics, structure, how to make a mall, the possible ways of use and its implications in detail for each map and provides how they can be used for learning mathematics. Mind map is one of most effective tools to make man's thinking power stronger and use the given time as the new way of learning mathematics. Concept map provides the various concepts learned by students more visually with a structured format. As a last, Vee diagram began with the question to explore for the given situation as the tool which is effective in doing exploring and making knowledge acquired vivid in students mind.

A convergence structure defined by Kent [4] is a correspondence between the filters on a given set X and the subsets of X which specifies which filters converge to points of X. This concept is defined to include types of convergence which are more general than that defined by specifying a topology on X. Thus, a convergence structure may be regarded as a generalization of a topology. With a given convergence structure q on a set X, Kent [4] introduced associated convergence structures which are called a topological modification and a pretopological modification. (omitted)

We define and study a concept of $H^f-space$ for a map, which is a generalized concept of an H-space, in terms of the Gottlieb set for a map. For a principal fibration $E_{\kappa}{\rightarrow}X$ induced by ${\kappa}:X{\rightarrow}X'\;from\;{\epsilon}:\;PX'{\rightarrow}X'$, we can obtain a sufficient condition to having an $H^{\bar{f}}-structure\;on\;E_{\kappa}$, which is a generalization of Stasheff's result [17]. Also, we define and study a concept of $co-H^g-space$ for a map, which is a dual concept of $H^f-space$ for a map. Also, we get a dual result which is a generalization of Hilton, Mislin and Roitberg's result [6].

We define and study a concept of $T^f$-space for a map, which is a generalized one of a T-space, in terms of the Gottlieb set for a map. We show that X is a $T_f$-space if and only if $G({\Sigma}B;A,f,X)=[{\Sigma}B,X]$ for any space B. For a principal fibration $E_k{\rightarrow}X$ induced by $k:X{\rightarrow}X^{\prime}$ from ${\epsilon}:PX^{\prime}{\rightarrow}X^{\prime}$, we obtain a sufficient condition to having a lifting $T^{\bar{f}}$-structure on $E_k$ of a $T^f$-structure on X. Also, we define and study a concept of co-$T^g$-space for a map, which is a dual one of $T^f$-space for a map. We obtain a dual result for a principal cofibration $i_r:X{\rightarrow}C_r$ induced by $r:X^{\prime}{\rightarrow}X$ from ${\iota}:X^{\prime}{\rightarrow}cX^{\prime}$.

We introduce the concept of cyclic morphisms with respect to a morphism in the category of pairs as a generalization of the concept of cyclic maps and we use the concept to obtain certain sets of homotopy classes in the category of pairs. For these sets, we get complete or partial answers to the following questions: (1) Is the concept the most general concept in the class of all concepts of generalized Gottlieb subsets introduced by many authors until now? (2) Are they homotopy invariants in the category of pairs? (3) When do they have a group structure?.

We define and study a concept of $T_A$-space which is closely related to the generalized Gottlieb group. We know that X is a $T_A$-space if and only if there is a map $r:L(A,\;X){\rightarrow}L_0(A,\;X)$ called a $T_A$-structure such that $ri{\sim}1_{L_0(A,\;X)}$. The concepts of $T_{{\Sigma}B}$-spaces are preserved by retraction and product. We also introduce and study a dual concept of $T_A$-space.

In this paper, we apply the notion of cocyclic maps to the category of pairs proposed by Hilton and obtain more general concepts. We discuss the concept of cocyclic morphisms with respect to a morphism and find that it is a dual concept of cyclic morphisms with respect to a morphism and a generalization of the notion of cocyclic morphisms with respect to a map. Moreover, we investigate its basic properties including the preservation of cocyclic properties by morphisms and find conditions for which the set of all homotopy classes of cocyclic morphisms with respect to a morphism will have a group structure.

This study was initiated by the idea to help students to be more ideally educated following the 7th curriculum that seeks the proactive students along with creativity for the 21st century. Mind-map was the main tool throughout the study and this was performed to find answers for the following questions : 1) to examine how students' drawing a mind-map affects their mathematical tendency or emotional aspects (motivation for study, interest, etc); 2) to investigate the types and characteristics of mind-maps that students draw; 3) to analyze advantages and obstacles that they experience during the process of drawing a mind-map and provide some suggestions for overcoming them. The research shows that students were highly motivated by the drawing a mind-map. There are types of mind-maps: tree shape and radial shape, and each shape has its own advantages. But the more important factor for being a good mind-map is where and how each concept is located and connected. Although it is true that drawing a mind-map helped students to see the bigger structure of what they learned, but there are several hardships taken care of. The study suggests to extend the experiment to various levels of students and diverse contents.

The purpose of this study is searching students' cognitive structures before and after learning division of fraction. Also the researchers investigated how their structures are connected when they solve division of fraction problems through individual interviews. The researcher suggested the instruction of division of fraction from the results.
