  • Lakatos's mathematical philosophy implies that the mathematical knowledge is quasi-empirical and provides the context where mathematics grows and develops. So, it is educationally significant. But, it is not easy to apply Lakatos's methodology to teaching elementary mathematics, because Lakatos's logic of the mathematical discovery is based on the proofs and refutations but elementary mathematics does not contain any proof. This study is to develop the schemes that apply Lakatos's methodology to teaching elementary mathematics and to provide the teaching examples. I devised the teaching process and the curriculum development method. And I developed the teaching examples.
