In this paper we study activity theory and Davydov's learning activity theory. We analyze brief history of activity theory in Russia, structure of human activity, and Davydov's studies in activity theory. Especially we analyze Davydov's 1st grade mathematics textbook, and try to investigate embodiment of Davydov's learning activity theory in his mathematics textbook.

The purpose of this work is to activate mathematics class in the extra curricular activity under the 7th curriculum. For that purpose, we investigate the current management of the extra curricular activity in the secondary school mathematics, and analysis the result. We suggest the main counterplan to activate mathematics class of extra curricular activity as following; (1) Develope teaching materials and programs for mathematics class. (2) Get the mathematics laboratory.

This study is on a supplementary textbook, a mathematics activity book which is first introduced in the fifth curriculum. There was three revision of mathematics activity book with the change of curriculum. On this study, the aim of introducing mathematics activity book, the direction of development, the organization system and the relation with curriculum were analyzed systematically on the basis of literature consideration.

This research intends to and understand a prospective teacher, Kim's mathematics lesson in the perspective of Activity Theory. In this study, Kim's mathematics lesson was explored in the aspects of subject, object, tools, division of labor, community, and rule which are main constituent of Activity Theory and Activity System suggested by $Engestr{\ddot{o}}m$. As the result of study, we discussed the phenomena such as the fluctuation between object and tool, the multi-voicedness between object, rule, outcome and student subject, and the dissonance between division of labor, community and rule were appeared in Kim's mathematics lesson as an activity system.

This paper presents an approach for using right-truncated exponentially distributed random variables to model activity times in stochastic activity networks. The advantages of using the right-truncated exponential distribution are discussed. The moments of a project completion time using the proposed distribution are derived and compared with other estimated moments in literature.

For the efficient application of curriculum discretion activity, I developed the program, 'Let's go together', so that curriculum discretion activity can be applied in the classroom. The program consists of several experiences, which are <Man to man paired study>, <the learning materials for Mathematics in our lives>, <the cooperative study in the class> and <the variety experiences about Mathematics>. This study shows the following results: First, T-test about the students' learning attitude and interest in Mathematics, there was dramatic change in students' desire, interest and attitude for mathematics learning. Second, as the role of Baewomi & Dowomi in 'Man to man paired study', Baewomi & Dowomi provided students with confidence of mathematics learning. We were able to ensure this fact from students' essay after the class. Third, teachers found that the number of students who had positive attitude with Self-directed study increased. And students tried to solve mathematical problems by themselves and the time using self-directed learning experience was also increased. This study suggests that there needs more development for learning materials for mathematics in our lives.

School Math Field Trips(SMFT) for School Mathematics can be defined as teaching and learning activity of mathematics going into the field of Korean history, culture, science and technology. This is a literature analysis study to systemize teaching and learning method of mathematics based on literature analysis and real SMFT activity. First, SMFT was introduced to improve cognitive affective and cultural-mathematical teaching and learning method of mathematics. Second, SMFT has three purposes of cognitive, affective and cultural-mathematical. Third, to conduct mathematical education activity the direction of teaching was set. Forth, the progressing way of developing material and SMFT was researched. Fifth, developing the evaluation standard of SMFT and evaluation method was suggested.

After entering an elementary school, in fact, a number of children regard mathematics as one of very difficult subjects because of its abstractiveness. This is caused by the fact that their basic thinking power is not yet formed or they can not understand the special quality of mathematics. So this article emphasizes the need to build up the higher logical thought and a basic mathematical concept at the lower grade elementary school stage in which the loaming activity on mathematics begins in earnest, that is, at the stage before having an experience on the calculating activity using numbers. But at present the lower grade elementary school students in our country do not understand the special quality of mathematics composed of a various symbolic system and lay stress upon mathematics learning attached to the calculative activity. In order to make the right mathematical concept of the lower grade elementary school, the basic knowledge and ability as follows is sure to be formed. 1) the foundational logical manipulation activity and knowledge 2) the using ability of the sign and symbolic system At the stage on which mathematics learning activity begins, it is a very important task to make the right concept of the abstractive math and nurse the capability for finding mathematical relations covered under the sign system through the continuos loaming activity on . Through the basic logical manipulation activity and the game activity of sign for lower grade elementary school students mentioned in this article, they can not only foster the higher level logical thinking power and the foundational calculative ability but also bring up the interest on the activity of establishing a new problem solving strategy.

This study investigated the academic achievement of science and high school students according to the characteristics of R&E activities in mathematics and science. In addition, based on the survey results, the correlation between R&E activity characteristics and mathematics and science academic achievement was studied through correlation analysis and factor analysis between subjects. There was a difference in academic achievement in mathematics and science according to the characteristics of the R&E activity area, and the experience of R&E activity was found to be closely related to the academic achievement of related subjects. Depending on the area of R&E activity, mathematical and scientific academic achievement was found to be two factors: mathematical logic and natural understanding. Natural understanding factors significantly influenced students' academic achievement in mathematics, physics, and life sciences, and mathematical logic factors significantly influenced the academic achievement of students in chemistry and earth science subjects. In particular, mathematical logic ability was concentrated in excellent physics class students, and natural understanding ability was concentrated in excellent life science class students. Since the characteristics of the R & E activity area greatly influence the academic achievement of mathematics and science, it will significantly contribute to the selection and operation of the R & E activity area of science high school students.

The goal of this study is to investigate reform directions of mathematics activity book which was introduced according to 2007 revised curriculum through literature analysis of introducing process. Futhermore, this study is to suggest the meaningful developing direction of new activity book according to the mathematics curriculum which is being developed now. To do this, first, the background of introducing activity book, developing direction, construction systems and the way to use it was analyzed. Second, teachers' response to the activity book on the basis of literature analysis was researched. Third, measures to improve activity book were investigated. In conclusion, reform direction of mathematics activity book was proposed in terms of developing research, goal, way to go, construction systems and questions arrangement.
