The purpose of this study is to investigate various mathematics education improvement or reform movements of Western Europe countries (United Kingdom, Germany, etc.) and the United States of America, to see the effects of those movements on Korean mathematics education circle, and to find a direction of Korean mathematics curriculum design. The third Korean mathematics curriculum was most affected by the new mathematics movement of the United States of America. This movement was emphasizing abstract structure, logical rigorousness and discovery learning of mathematics, which was fired from late fifties. Korean mathematics education circle imported the new mathematics early seventies from USA, but serious problems had been found at that time in USA. This study has pointed out that new math oriented Korean mathematics curriculum was not proper and the new mathematics itself was disastrous for most Korean students' learning. The study also points out that they hurried too much introducing the new mathematics and publishing new mathematics oriented textbooks but they had not sufficient teacher training programs. In our future mathematics curriculum reform, we have to remember such a historical lesson.

There seems to be a public consensus that the content of Korean mathematics textbooks is extensive and of a high level of difficulty. However, such judgment is the result of a generalization based on individual experience or on the results from comparisons of the international levels of achievement. Therefore, a more objective and stricter approach to the determination of the quantity and level of difficulty of mathematics content is necessary. For this purpose, this study has compared the content of Koreas 6th and 7th junior high school curriculums, and the Korean mathematics curriculum to textbooks of the United States, which has a considerable influence on the making of Korean mathematics textbooks. First of all, a comparison of Koreas 6th and 7th junior high school mathematics curriculums showed a slight reduction in the total quantity of content, as more content was deleted than was added in the 7th curriculum. However, given the fact that the number of hours of mathematics classes has been reduced, the reduction in content cannot be regarded as anything more than a simple reflection of the reduction in hours, proving that the 7th curriculum has not met its revision objective of reducing the content by 30%. Meanwhile, the comparison of the United States junior high school mathematics textbooks to Korea's 7th curriculum showed that the 7th grade content in the United States was much broader, encompassing content which in Korea ranged from the 2nd grade of elementary school to the 2nd year of junior high school. Therefore, on the surface, it may appear that the overall level of content in the American mathematics textbook is lower than that of the Korean. However, there are several cafes, such as statistics and probability, where certain content was more difficult and introduced at an earlier grade in the United States than in Korea. In fact, it can be said that Korea students tend to find content of the mathematics textbooks to be harder than they actually are because they are delivered as a mere aggregate of algorithms, with little consideration to its application in their everyday lives. In this respect, there is much room for improvement on the mathematics textbooks of Korea.

In case of Korea, while discrete mathematics is included in the traditional school curriculum the 7th Educational Reform adds a new topic of Graph Theory making it an optional subject of highschool mathematics. However, a systematic research on the curriculum of discrete mathematics is still unsatisfactory. This study is focused on comparing the curriculum of discrete mathematics in Korea with that of other countries including the United States, Britain, Japan, and Canada. Consequently, it looks into problems concerning the school curriculum of discrete mathematics in Korea to devise a proper measure to improve.

Researchers at Truman State University in Missouri, located in the heartland of the United States, have been using materials adapted from the English translations of the sixth national primary mathematics curriculum from Korea for professional development and assessment with groups of Missouri teachers for the purpose of enhancing teachers' understanding of the fundamentals of mathematics since 2002 [gecKo Mathematics (2008). Korean Mathematics in American Classrooms. Edited by J. Grow-Maienza. Adapted from Korean Mathematics (2001). Kirksville, MO: Truman State University. http://kmath.truman.edu/]. A professional development initiative for 50 teachers conducted in Missouri this past year is reported here. Significant gains in teacher understanding of fundamental mathematics concepts and pedagogy necessary for student achievement in primary mathematics were found as a result of the initiative.

Asian mathematics curricula and textbooks are being recognized in the United States as at least partial explanation for the higher mathematics achievement of students in Asian countries compared to students in the United States. As a result there is considerable interest among many educators in the United States in curricula from Singapore and curricula from Japan. In addition, researchers and educators at one university in the American heartland have been using the English translations of a Korean primary mathematics curriculum for professional development and assessment with groups of Missouri teachers for the purpose of enhancing teachers' understanding of the fundamentals of mathematics, and in hopes of raising student achievement scores. A professional development initiative begun seven years ago and revived this year will entail a rigorous assessment which will be reported in 2009. Results of assessment of the earlier initiatives are reported here.

There are some researches for international comparing of textbook and curriculum, so far. But These researches focused on comparing special region of textbook or curriculum. On the contrary, there are hardly papers how teacher's guide is consists and different with other country. In this paper, we have analyzed teacher's guide of Korea and Everyday Mathematics which is one of the teacher's guide in the many counties in the united states of America. Especially, teaching method, differentiated contents of curriculum, characteristics of consists of curriculum and so on. On the basis of this analysis, we search the improvement points of teaching of primary mathematics and also we make all the primary school teachers realize the diversity of teaching method through foreign cases and consequently they will make use of these results as a reference material such as reconstruction of textbook.

2015년 교육과정 개정을 앞두고 있는 현재, 현행 교육과정과 다른 나라 교육과정과의 비교 분석을 통해 우리나라 교육과정 개정을 위한 바람직한 방향을 모색할 필요가 있다. 이러한 입장에서 본 논문에서는 학습 내용을 중심으로 미국의 CCSSM과 우리나라의 2011 초등학교 수학과 교육과정을 비교 분석하였다. 그 결과 CCSSM에서 취급하는 학습 내용이 2011 교육과정에서 취급하는 학습 내용에 비해 적다고 하기 어렵고, 2011 교육과정보다 훨씬 빠른 시기에 도입하여 깊게 배우는 학습 내용과, 심지어 우리나라에서는 중학교 이상에서 취급하는 학습 내용도 있음을 알 수 있었다. 이것으로부터 우리나라의 차후 교육과정 개정을 위해 다음과 같은 시사점을 얻을 수 있었다. 첫째, 초등학교 저학년에서는 기초적인 개념의 이해와 기능의 습득을 충분히 강조할 필요가 있다. 둘째, 수학과에서 학년군제의 시행을 재고할 필요가 있다. 셋째, 교육과정 개정은 충분한 논의를 거쳐 이루어져야 하며, 개정의 과정을 잘 정리하여 공개할 필요가 있다. 넷째, 우리나라의 차후 교육과정 개정에서 CCSSM에 대한 미국 내의 비판을 참고할 필요가 있다.

For the first time ever in its history, the United States has a national version for K-12 mathematics programs, the Com-mon Core State Standards for Mathematics. Since its final version appeared in 2010 in the United States, the Common Core State Standards have started getting much attention from the Korean mathematics and mathematics education communities. Although attempts have been made to translate the original text of the stan-dards, the information such as the paradigm shift that led to the development of the standards, design principles and a comparison with the NCTM Standards would aid understating the standards in the intended way and avoiding unnecessary confusion.

이 연구는 시간 관련 학습에서의 어려움 개선을 목적으로 하는 시각과 시간에 대한 수학과 교육과정 국제 비교연구이다. 이를 위해 먼저 시간 관련 내용의 교수·학습과 관련된 선행 문헌을 검토하고 교수·학습 개선을 위해 고려해야 할 이슈들을 도출하였다. 한국, 일본, 호주, 미국, 핀란드의 수학과 교육과정에서 시각과 시간 내용의 범주 및 학습 시기를 비교하고, 선행 문헌 검토를 통해 도출된 이슈들을 중심으로 각국의 교과서 사례를 분석하였다. 그 결과, 우리나라는 학교 수학에서 시각 및 시간 내용을 다른 나라보다 짧은 시간 동안 압축적으로 다루고 있었다. 시간 관련 교수·학습 이슈별로 우리나라가 참고할 만한 개선 아이디어들을 다른 나라 교과서 사례 분석을 통하여 제시하였다. 결과를 바탕으로 시각과 시간 내용에 관한 우리나라 교육과정의 개선에 참고할 시사점을 제언하였다.
