In the information oriented society, a good lesson helps learners to develop self-learning ability. To give a good lesson, teachers should teach with details in learning contents that learners can understand easily, not with abstract and generalized concepts in the textbook. And they also should find the effective instructional media to give students the learning contents. Since the newspaper carries the most current and up-to-date source of information about various fields, if it is used as the teaching material in the classroom, it can help students to learn useful and practical knowledge. Therefore, newspapers are so-called 'living textbook'. NIE which enables students to enhance their ability to utilize the information and to learn wisdom about life, is already actively applied to the educational activities. And e-learning system and the electronic newspaper that make learning happen to anyone anytime anywhere, appears with the advancements in information technology and changing educational paradigm. This changed circumstance make the field and the way of NIE enlarge to e-NIE. e-NIE is the educational media that helps the learners to learn the way of learning. But the study about e-NIE through designing a teaching plan systematically has not been made completely. Therefore, this research aims to find out the characteristics of e-NIE and the effective way of designing a teaching plan that fits the characteristics of e-NIE.

This research is about storytelling in middle school geometry. This study is basic research about actualizing mathematical teaching and learning based on storytelling that is raised for reforming school mathematics education. In order to develop the mathematics textbook model, development of procedures and methods were extracted from the literature. And mathematics textbook model were developed in accordance with the process and methods. Examples are presented in terms of the development of material with 'story as a communication tool', 'familiar story as a script' 'universality of the world or simulation of life as a story', 'story as a means to foster creativity: story making'. Through the results of this study, we are also able to check the possibility of storytelling in mathematics class. And this study will be the foundation for teaching and learning using storytelling.

In order to help students to understand the essence of prime concepts, this study looked at the history of prime concept development and analyzed how to introduce the concept of textbooks. In ancient Greece, primes were multiplicative atoms. At that time, the unit was not a number, but the development of decimal representations led to the integration of the unit into the number, which raised the issue of primality of 1. Based on the uniqueness of factorization into prime factor, 1 was excluded from the prime, and after that, the concept of prime of the atomic context and the irreducible concept of the divisor context are established. The history of the development of prime concepts clearly reveals that the fact that prime is the multiplicative atom is the essence of the concept. As a result of analyzing the textbooks, the textbook has problems of not introducing the concept essence by introducing the concept of prime into a shaped perspectives or using game, and the problem that the transition to analytic concept definition is radical after the introduction of the concept. Based on the results of the analysis, we have provided several pedagogical implications for helping to focus on a conceptual aspect of prime number.

The purpose of this study is to explore alternative ways of teaching derivatives in a way that emphasizes intuition. For this purpose, the contents related to derivatives in Korean curriculum and textbooks were analyzed by comparing with contents in Singapore Curriculum and textbooks. Singapore, where the curriculum deals with derivatives relatively earlier than Korea, introduces the concept of derivatives and differentiation as the slope of tangent instead of the rate of instantaneous change in textbook. Also, Singapore use technology and inductive extrapolation to emphasize intuition rather than form and logic. Further, from the results of the exploration of other foreign cases, we confirm that the UK and Australia also emphasized intuition in teaching derivatives and differentiation. Based on the results, we discuss the meaning and implication of introducing derivatives and teaching differentiation in a way that emphasizes intuition. Finally, we propose the implications for the alternative way of teaching differentiation.

In this research, in order to obtain teaching/learning implications for effective use of questions when teaching number and operation area, the types of questions presented in chapters of number and operation area of 2015 revised elementary math textbooks and the function of questions were compared and analyzed by grade cluster. As a result of this research, the types of questions presented in chapters of number and operation area showed a high percentage of occurrences in the order of reasoning questions, factual questions, and open questions not calling for reasoning in common by grade cluster. And reasoning questions were predominant in all grade clusters. In addition, in all grade clasters, the proportion of questions acting as a function to help guess, invention, and solving problems and questions acting as a function to help mathematical reasoning were relatively high. As such, it can be inferred that the types and functions of the questions presented in chapters of number and operation area are related to the characteristics of the learning content by grade cluster. This research will be able to contribute to the preparation of advanced teaching/learning plans by providing reference materials in the questions when teaching number and operation area.

Double scale models have been introduced in elementary mathematics textbooks under the 2015 revised mathematics curriculum. However, few studies have examined in detail how students understand or utilize such models. In this study, we analyzed how 154 sixth-grade students who had learned the division of fractions from textbooks containing double scale models understood such models. The results showed that the students tended to identify the components of the model relatively well, but had difficulties exploring the unit or the meaning of the bottom number line of a model. They also had a lot of difficulties using the double scale model to complete the computation process and explain the computation principle. Based on these findings, we discuss the implications of teaching double scale models.

The 7th curriculum sets a basic direction based on learner centered teaching, with the aim of allowing students to develop their mathematical ability. Teachers' manuals are provided to help teachers fallow the basic direction and achieve the curriculum aims, but in practice they are not always helpful. Therefore, we reconstructed parts of a teachers' manual. This involved analyzing the contents of units 6, 7 and 8 of the elementary mathematics textbook 4 na to identify and outline the problems; introducing more detailed teaching methods and activities; and developing teaching learning materials. We tested the new version in several real classes and analysed the responses 6f teachers and students to examine the possibility of its practical use. The results suggest that the reconstructed version of the teachers' manual for units 6, 7 and 8 of textbook 4 na is of greater practical utility.

우리는 공간적인 패턴, 모양, 그리고 움직임의 세계-즉, 기하의 세계-에 살고 있다. 아동들은 그들의 환경에 자연스럽게 매혹되고, 보고, 듣고, 움직임으로써 계속해서 정보를 받아들이므로, 그들의 공간적인 능력은 일반적으로 수(數)기능을 능가하기도 한다. 이러한 차원에서 볼 때, 우리나라의 수학과 7차 교육과정에 공간 감각을 기르기 위한 내용이 새로이 추가되었다는 것은 아주 고무적인 일이라고 생각하며, 이와 관련하여 문헌 연구를 통해서 공간감각에 대한 개념을 살펴보고, 교육과정 및 교과서를 분석하여 공간감각을 길러줄 수 있는 내용을 체계화하며, 공간감각을 증진시킬 수 있는 교구 활용 방안을 제시하고자한다.

본 연구는 중학교 1학년 함수 학습을 위해 패턴 활동으로 구성된 함수 지도 프로그램을 개발하고, 개발한 프로그램을 적용한 실험 집단(85명)과 교과서를 적용한 비교 집단(85명)간의 함수 학습에서의 효과를 분석하였다. 함수 지도 프로그램은 학생들이 패턴 활동을 동해 함수적 사고를 기르며, 활동적으로 수업에 참여하여 수학에 대한 자신감과 실생활의 연계성을 가질 수 있도록 구성하였으며, 적용 결과, 수학 수준별 수업을 하는 상반에서는 유의미한 차이를 보였고, 중반에서는 유의미한 차이는 없었으나 수업 시간에 흥미가 매우 높았다는 긍정적 평가를 할 수 있다.

공간 지각력의 개발 ${\cdot}$ 육성은 수학교육의 중요한 목표들 중의 하나이지만, 중등학교 수학 교과서를 분석해 보면, 공간 도형에 대한 조작적 활동의 경험은 매우 빈약하다. 특히, 중학교에서는 1학년에서 공간도형의 계량적 측면에 중심을 두고 취급하고 있지만, 이를 통해 수학교육에서 추구하는 교육목표를 달성하기는 어렵다. 본 연구에서는 중학교 학생들이 공간 도형에 대해 다각적인 측면에서 분석적이고 조작적 활동을 경험하며, 이를 통해 공간 도형에 대한 상상력, 그리고 공간 도형에서의 추론 활동 경험을 제공할 수 있는 학습 자료를 개발하여 제시할 것이다.
