A Study of Mathematical Game and Puzzles With Learners

학습자와 함께 하는 수학게임 및 퍼즐 활용에 관한 연구

The basic direction of mathematical education for a 21st century is focused on helping student to understand mathematics and develop their problem solving abilities, mathematical dispositions and mathematical thinking. Elementary mathematics teachers should help students make sense of mathematics, confident of their ability, and make learning environment comfortable for students to participate in. The best way is to provide chances to play a game for students, considering educational value of game and new directions for mathematical education. Therefore I would like to develop an mathematical game to conform mathematical ideas, and apply it, as well as strengthen students' mathematical disposition such as confidence, flexibility, interest and curiosity to improve quality of mathematical education. If students are helped to be interested in mathematics through mathematical games, they regard mathematics as interesting and challengeable subject to let themselves think many ways.

본 논문에서는 수학게임과 관련한 장 단점, 수학게임 적용 시 유의사항 등을 살펴보고, 몇 가지 수학게임의 적용 실제 또는 수학적 사고 능력 함양의 새로운 가능성을 탐구하고자 한다. 이러한 과정을 현장에 적용하여 학습자의 수학적 사고의 발달과 수학적 성향을 개선시키는데 조금이나마 보탬이 되고자 하는데 그 목적이 있다.
