Many topics in science, especially, abstract concepts, relationships, properties, entities in invisible ranges, are described in mathematical representations such as formula, numbers, symbols, and graphs. Although the mathematical representation is an essential tool to better understand scientific phenomena, the mathematical element is pointed out as a reason for learning difficulty and losing interests in science. In order to further investigate the relationship between mathematics knowledge and science understanding, the current study examined 793 high school students' understanding of the pH value. As a measure of the molar concentration of hydrogen ions in the solution, the pH value is an appropriate example to explore what a student mathematical structure of logarithm is and how they interpret the proportional relationship of numbers for scientific explanation. To the end, students were asked to write their responses on a questionnaire that is composed of nine content domain questions and four affective domain questions. Data analysis of this study provides information for the relationship between student understanding of the pH value and related mathematics knowledge.

In pthis aper, mathematical terms in 7th elementary mathematics curriculum(from now, in short, 7th curriculum)are reexamined critically. In 7th curriculum there are 123 terms, which seems to be selected cautiously But it is not sure. There are lots of evidences for selecting terms incautiously, Through these evidences, following conclusions are induced: (1) Terms were not selected strictly. There are many terms omitted in 7th curriculum, which are necessary for understanding mathematical concepts. (2) There were no rational principles for selecting terms in 7th curriculum. Any rational principles can not be found out among terms in 7th curriculum. (3) Mathematical terms and real life terms in 7th curriculum were not distinguished explicitly. There were some real life terms in 7th curriculum, which were significant for understanding mathematical concepts. But other real life terms which is significant also for understanding mathematical concepts were not contained in 7th curriculum.

This paper investigates student conceptual understanding and application on algebra using problem-based curricula. Seven principles which National Research Council announced were considered because these seven principles all involved in the development of a deep conceptual understanding. A problem-based curriculum itself provides a significant contribution to improving student learning. A problem-based curriculum encourages students to obtain a more conceptual understanding in algebra. From the results the national curriculum developers in Korea consider the problem-based curriculum.

The purpose of this study is to analyze expressions in the first and second grade math textbooks in elementary school in the aspect of possibilities of learners' understanding and propose proper directions for expressions in math textbooks to increase the possibilities of their understanding. The findings show that there were four types of expression errors and five types of mathematical errors in the aspects of expression method and content, respectively.

This study described an elementary teacher's practical knowledge of selecting and using mathematical tasks for promoting students' understanding and discourse. The informant of this ethnographic inquiry was a third grade teacher and has 10 years of teaching experience. According to the analysis of multiple data sources, this study showed that based on his beliefs about the development of understanding of mathematics and discourse, he continually employed two different types of tasks: open-ended tasks and tasks from students' mistakes and comments during discourse. Teachers' practical knowledge of teaching mathematics and the classroom norms for students' understanding and discourse are suggested to be given attention for further research on this area.

본 연구에서는 고등학교 과정에서 다루어지는 수학적 귀납법 증명의 대표적인 예제들을 이해하고 증명하는데 필요한 스키마를 분석하고, 그에 대한 학생들의 구성 여부를 조사하였다. 함수 스키마와 명제치 함수 스키마의 구성은 함의치 함수 스키마와 긍정 논리식 스키마의 구성에 선행하며 함의치 함수 스키마와 긍정 논리식 스키마는 수학적 귀납법 스키마를 위해 통합적으로 조절되어야 한다는 점도 확인하였다. 이를 바탕으로 하여 수학적 귀납법에 대한 학생들의 이해 수준은 $1{\sim}4$ 수준으로 설정될 수 있었다. 또한 이러한 이해 수준과 관련하여 수학적 귀납법을 학습하면서 겪는 학생들의 인지적 어려움이 분석되었다.

본 연구에서는 소집단 협동학습 형태에서 개방형 문제를 활용하여 학생들의 학습 수준에 따라 나타나는 수학적 의사소통의 특징을 말하기와 쓰기를 중심으로 조사하였다. 본 연구의 결과는 개방형 문제 유형과 학생들의 학습 수준을 고려한 수학적 의사소통 능력 신장 방안에 대한 추후의 연구에 기초 자료로서 활용될 수 있을 것이다. 본 연구의 결과로써 개방형 문제를 활용한 소집단 협동학습 상황에서 학생들의 의사소통 형태가 시간이 지날수록 보다 구체화되고 정련되는 모습을 관찰할 수 있었다. 또한, 본 연구에서는 학생들의 학습 수준에 따라 말하기와 쓰기 부분에서 서로 다른 특징이 나타난다는 사실과 학습 수준에 따른 개방형 문제 유형의 선호도가 다르다는 사실을 확인하였다.

실행연구는 연구자가 문제의식을 가지고 실제를 개선하고 자신의 전문적 지식을 향상시켜 나가는 연구이다. 본 연구는 학생들이 학교와 가정에서 수학을 많이 접함에도 불구하고 수학적 문제해결력이 낮고 실생활에 적용시키는 수학적 이해력이 부족하다는 문제점을 인식한 교사가 학생들의 수학적 이해력을 높이고 교사 자신의 수학 교수법을 계발하려 데서 출발하였다. 본 연구를 실행한 교사는 수학적 지식을 적용할 수 있는 문제 상황을 학생들 스스로가 잦아보게 하여 수학을 실생활에 적용할 줄 알고 수학과 친숙해지도록 하는 수학적 이해력을 신장시키기 위한 방안으로 상황중심의 문제해결 모형을 고안하였다. 본문에서는 교사가 연구자가 되어 학생들의 이해를 촉진시키기 위하여 개발한 상황중심의 수업 모형을 설명하고, 이를 적용하는 과정과 수업의 반성을 통해서 얻은 연구자의 성찰적 지식을 정리하였다.

The ability of understanding the number and number systems, grasping the properties of number systems, and manipulating number systems is the foundation to understand algebra. It is useful to deepen students' mathematical understanding of number systems and operations. The authentic understanding of numbers and operations can make it possible for the students to manipulate algebraic symbols, to represent relationship among sets of numbers, and to use variables to investigate the properties of sets of numbers. The high school students need to understand the number systems from more abstract perspective. The purpose of this study is to study on understanding and application ability of eleventh graders of basic properties of operations with real numbers.

When taught the precise definition of ${\pi}$, students may be simply asked to memorize its approximate value without developing a rigorous understanding of the underlying reason of why it is a constant. Measuring the circumferences and diameters of various circles and calculating their ratios might just represent an attempt to verify that ${\pi}$ has an approximate value of 3.14, and will not necessarily result in an adequate understanding about the constant nor formally proves that it is a constant. In this study, we aim to investigate prospective teachers' conceptual understanding of ${\pi}$, and as a constant and whether they can provide a proof of its constant property. The findings show that prospective teachers lack a holistic understanding of the constant nature of ${\pi}$, and reveal how they teach students about this property in an inappropriate approach through a proving activity. We conclude our findings with a suggestion on how to improve the situation.
