This study investigated results of bilingual learning of mathematics in teaching quadratic functions at an international high school in South Korea. Unlike a Korean traditional public school, this international school has provided bilingual learning. 10th grade students enrolled two math classes, Algebra II that was taught in English through CCSS and High School Mathematics I that was taught in Korean through the Korean National Math Curriculum. In order to collect information on students' behaviors and math achievement, we analyzed students' academic back grounds, mathematical abilities, results of interviews, observations, questionnaires and assessments. The results of this study include specific benefits. Bilingual learning of mathematics is effective as a method to improve Korean students' mathematical abilities and attitudes as well as positive influence on Korean mathematics education.

In this paper, we present the development and a case study on 'Mathematics & Coding Mobile Contents' tailored for secondary education. These innovative resources aim to alleviate the burden of laborious calculations, enabling students to allocate more time to engage in discussions and visualize complex mathematical concepts. By integrating these contents into the curriculum, students can effectively meet the national standards for achievement in mathematics. They are empowered to develop their mathematical thinking skills through active engagement with the material. When properly integrated into secondary mathematics education, these resources not only facilitate attainment of national curriculum standards but also foster students' confidence in their mathematical abilities. Furthermore, they serve as valuable tools for nurturing both computational and mathematical thinking among students.

In school mathematics, the concept of continuous functions has been intuitively taught. Many researches reported that many students identified the continuity of function with the connectedness of the graphs. Several researchers proposed some ideas which are enhancing the formal aspects of the definition as alternative. We analysed the historical developments of the concept of continuous functions and drew pedagogical implications for the intuitive teaching of continuous functions from the result of analysis.

Mathematical concept exists in the structural form, not in the independent form. The purpose of this study is to consider the network which students actually have for the mathematical concept structure related to the properties of derivatives. First, we analyzed the properties of derivatives in 'Mathematics II' and showed the mathematical concept structure of the relations among derivatives, functions, and primitive functions as a network. Also, we investigated the understanding of high school students for the mathematical concept structure between derivatives and functions, and the structure between functions and second order derivatives when the functional formula is not given, and only the graph is given. The results showed that students mainly focus on the relation of 'function-derivatives', the thinking process for direction of derivative and the thinking style for algebra. On this basis, we suggest the educational implication that is necessary for students to build the network properly.

This study investigated the effect of visual mathematics education using smartphones and immediate feedback through SNS on students' understanding of basic mathematical concept and academic achievement at the tertiary level. Researchers analyzed the test results of 214 students' mid-term and final examination in 4 classes consisted of 16 weeks' classes with two hours per week. Also their 30 questionnaire survey results were analyzed. The result reveals that classes using smartphones promoted understanding mathematical concepts and induced students' motivation and affirmative reaction. This study implies that an appropriate use of technology will support dynamic visualization of mathematical modeling and its interpretation, which enables students' active participation and deeper understanding.

It is important for children to develop statistical reasoning as they think through data. In particular, it is imperative to provide children instructional situations in which they are encouraged to consider variability in data because the ability to reason about variability is fundamental to the development of statistical reasoning. Many researchers argue that even highperforming mathematics students show low levels of statistical reasoning; interventions attending to pedagogical concerns about child ren's statistical reasoning are, thus, necessary. The purpose of this study was to investigate 15 gifted elementary students' various ways of understanding important statistical concepts, with particular attention given to 3 students' reasoning about data that emerged as they engaged in the process of generating and graphing data. Analysis revealed that in recognizing variability in a context involving data, mathematically gifted students did not show any difference from previous results with general students. The authors suggest that our current statistics education may not help elementary students understand variability in their development of statistical reasoning.

기존의 웹 기반 학습 평가 시스템은 학습자의 선택 기회가 없는 상태에서 일방적으로 제시된 문제지로 평가하게 되거나, 문제 은행에서 임의로 추출한 문제도 단순히 무작위로나 난이도만을 고려하여 문제지를 구성하였고, 그 결과에 대한 성취도의 분석도 한 문제지에 대한 정오표 또는 점수로 단순하게 제시하기 때문에 학습자의 지속적인 학습 관리가 이루어지지 못하고 있다. 본 논문에서는 문제유형, 과목 및 단원 난이도, 문항 형태, 문항당 배점, 문항당 배당 시간등의 다양한 정보를 가진 유형별 문제 은행을 구축하였다. 학습자는 마치 문제집을 풀고 싶은 유형의 문제를 선택하듯이 문제 은행에서 문제를 자율적으로 구성하여 평가할 수 있는 유형별 문제지나 대학수학능력시험의 기준에 맞추어 자동 구성되는 종합 문제지로 다양하게 평가할 수 있다. 또한, 한문제지에 대한 결과뿐만 아니라 유형별, 월별 성취도 분석을 통하여 평가한 총점에 대한 획득한 점수의 누적 통계를 그래프로 일목요연하게 보여주어 한 학습자에 대한 지속적인 성취도 분석이 가능하도록 구축하였다.

기존에 있는 그룹테크놀로지의 방법들은 기계와 부품간의 공정유사성이나 그밖의 다른 정의의 유사성을 갖고 한 가지 정도의 알고리즘이나 수학적인 모델로써 해를 구했으나 그 해들은 실질적으로 현대 산업의 생산시스템이나 자동화에서 풀어나가야 하는 기계들의 병목현상을 풀어나가는 직접적인 접근방법을 제시하지 못했다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 새로운 기계간 유사성의 개발과 그래프이론을 응용한 알고리즘 그리고 수학적인 모델을 동시에 응용해서 병목현상을 초래하는 예외적인 원소의 재배치를 효과적이고 쉬운방법으로 제시하였다.

The subject of this study was the graph of relation of direct inverse proportion, linear function and quadratic function in the 1st, 2nd and 3rd grade of current middle school mathematics curriculum. GSP materials were developed to simplify the principle, trait and characteristics of graphs and make them easier to understand. The overall aim of the materials is to improve the effectiveness of teaching and learning through the utilization of enhanced students' practice. Additionally, the use of the GSP will be useful in the development of mere effective materials. The effectiveness of the GSP materials will be as followings. 1. The step by step approach of GSP materials through computer interaction will enhance students motivation and interest in mathematics. 2. By presenting the subject matter simply and in a variety of ways, difficult concepts can be understood without the use of complex mathematical calculation. 3. The GSP program is different from CAI and other software programs. It should be used only after learning how to input and output data.
