In this paper, we investigated the effects of mathematics classes using play-action programs in the course of mathematics education of future elementary school teachers. This study was conducted with 43 junior university students who selected 'Play Mathematics' in 2006. All the participants in this course was divided 11 groups. Play-action mathematics programs was consisted of 12 themes. For example, there was tangram, somacube, hexamino, tessellation, geoboard etc. In the beginning of lessons, we investigated theses themes itself through plays, puzzles, games, and computer programs. And next time, we investigated the relationships between these themes and elementary mathematic textbooks(i.e. mathematical contents). In 14th and 15th lessons, all the groups took a project presentation lessons that included all things about play mathematics in all group categories. And they developed two themes of play mathematics in accordance with grades, contents, levels as course tasks. Through this study, three educational effects induced. First, future elementary school teachers have a deep understanding about play-action mathematics. They are interested in these play themes, and take part in these play mathematics programs of their own accord. And they realize that these play themes are related to elementary mathematics. Second, future elementary school teachers' attitude and mind about mathematical are improved after this course. Third, future elementary school teachers comprehend various instruction methods relating to play mathematics. Therefore, we suggest that future elementary school teachers need to have many opportunity to experience and develop a mathematics classes using play mathematics.

The purpose of this thesis is to analyze and compare 'Game Activities' of elementary mathematics textbooks developed in the national curriculum revised in 2015, and to find suggestions to improve 'Game Activities' of the textbooks based on the results. The main results of this study are as follows. First, as for materials, various types of materials were used in 'Game Activities'. Also, more various materials were included in 2nd grade textbooks and 1st, 2nd grade teacher's guidebooks than 1st grade textbooks. Second, this study analyzed the patterns of organization. The result showed that group and pair activities accounted for the highest rate among other patterns of organizations. Textbooks should include more pattern types of organizations that teachers could use them properly according to numbers of students in classes. For the 'Game Activities', students need to understand basic concepts of the chapter first. Students with lower levels would have difficulty participating in the 'Game Activities'. Thus, there is a need to include activities for students with lower levels in teachers' guidebooks, reflecting a variety of students levels.

놀이나 게임을 좋아하는 어린이들의 특성과 활동이 왕성한 초등학교 학생들의 발달 단계에 비추어 볼때, 놀이를 통한 수학학습은 효과적이고 흥미를 유발시킬 수 있으며 어렵고 딱딱한 과목에서 조금이라도 해방될 수 있을 것이라고 생각된다. 초등수학에 관한 구체적이고 실험적인 연구를 통하여 놀이 활동을 체계적이고 계획적으로 정리한 Skemp는 초등수학교육과 관련하여 활동 위주의 수업을 많이 하길 권하고 있다. Skemp 놀이 활동은 자투리 시간을 이용하여 학습을 보조하거나 재미로 해보는 종류의 놀이가 아니라 초등학교 교육과정의 전 요소를 학습할 수 있도록 체계적이고 의도적으로 짜여진 놀이 활동으로 모든 수학적 주제를 다루고 있다. 본 연구에서는 Skemp놀이 활동학습을 초등학교 5 ${\cdot}$ 6학년 특별보충반 아동들에게 적용하여 연산능력의 신장과 정의적 영역에 어떠한 영향을 미치는지 알아보았다.

쌓기놀이는 유치원에서의 주요 활동이며, 유아들이 가장 선호하는 놀이일 뿐 아니라 교육적 가치도 크다고 보고 있다. 특히 쌓기놀이는 다양한 크기, 형태의 나무 적목을 사용하여 구성하게 되므로 공간 관계, 기하학적 도형, 대칭, 합동 등의 수학적 경험을 제공할 수 있다는 것이다. 그러나 교육현장에서의 쌓기놀이는 유아가 자유롭게 구조물을 만든 후 이를 극화놀이로 확장되어 전개되는데 그치고 있어 이를 통한 수학적 경험은 크게 기대할 수 없으며 우연적일 수 밖에 없다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 유아의 쌓기놀이를 보다 기하학적 사고와 탐색을 포함하는 교수-학습의 방안을 모색하고 현장 적용성을 검토하고자하였다. 본 연구의 내용은 유아의 쌓기놀이 활동에 기초한 기하학습의 모형을 설계하고, 이를 기초로 한 적용사례를 제시하는 것이다.

This study is intended to look into the effects of children's forest math game activities on their understanding of number and space concept. To achieve this, an evaluation was carried out to 20 4-year-old children in each group - experimental group and control group - by an evaluation sheet after forest math game activities during a total of 16 sessions 4 times a week for 4 weeks. The findings are as follows. First, children's forest math game activities had an effect on their understanding of number and space concept. Second, the difference between experimental group and control group showed that the experimental group received higher evaluation in the classifying and order finding items than the control group. It was confirmed that classifying and order finding in the forest math game were factors to help children's mathematical problem-understanding abilities. This implies that their forest math game activities have a positive effect on their mathematical problem-understanding abilities. Consequently, active forest math game activities for children are needed to help them understand the concept of number in the process of classifying task objects and solving tasks in order.

For this study, the 'Game Activities' lessons presented in the math textbooks from the 1st grade to the 6th were examined in terms of learning materials, the learning members' make-up, the playing structures, and the relation with the contents. In addition, the survey by means of questionnaires was conducted to analyze the actual condition of teachers' guidance in the field. The findings from this research were as follows: First, as for the activities presented in the textbooks, it turned out that too much emphasis is placed upon plays mainly using learning materials such as cards and dice played by teams of two. In addition, there have been shown negative aspects in various ways of plays putting too much emphasis on certain types of plays such as and structures. As for the relation with the contents, although lots of efforts were taken to connect the playing activity to the lesson contents, there were units presenting plays based on the preceding lesson's repeated activity, ones that have weak link with the contents. Second, it turned out that the teachers had negative attitude on the guidance using the 'Game Activities' lesson, although they were aware of the effects of playing in math learning. This seemed to result from the delicate variety and insufficient preparation for the play. Besides, the findings indicate that the appreciation and activity of the 'Game Activities' lesson presented as a way of performance evaluation. for play need to be provided in school or classrooms for teachers and students to make good use of them.

수학학습은 교과 수업시간을 통해서 뿐만 아니라, 자연과 문화 속에 내재된 수학적 원리와 법칙은 관찰이나 탐구를 통하여 습득하거나, 일상생활의 활동과 놀이를 통하여 수학적 개념 및 결과와 관련된 심상이 형성될 수도 있다. 따라서, 계획적으로 잘 구성된 놀이활동을 통하여 수학에 대한 흥미와 호기심을 유발하고, 사고의 유연성과 직관력을 경험하게 함으로써 교육현장에서 교사와 학습자간에 원활한 의사소통이 가능한 학습효과를 기대할 수 있다. 이와 관련하여 본 연구에서는 놀이 활동을 통하여 수학적 경험을 가능하게 하는 활동유형을 탐색하고, 수학의 본질이 잘 고려된 특기 ${\cdot}$ 적성교육 교수-학습 자료 개발 및 이를 활용한 교수-학습 모형을 제시하고자 한다.

The purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of using the play with multiplication activities based on Skemp's theory for mathematics achievements and attitudes toward mathematics of elementary school students. For this study, we rearranged Skemp's play activities according to our curriculum in the area of multiplication and applied them to the 2nd grade classes of an elementary school. The plays with multiplication activities were applied to the experimental group while traditional teaching method was used with the current mathematics textbook for the comparative group. We obtained the following conclusions: First, in terms of mathematics achievement, the experimental group who used the plays with multiplication activities based on Skemp's theory didn't show significant difference with the comparative group. Second, it proved that the plays with multiplication activities based on Skemp's theory was more effective for lower level of students than the higher level of students. Third, the plays with multiplication activities based on Skemp's theory have positive effects on improving students' attitudes toward mathematics. We need to use the plays with multiplication activities based on Skemp's theory in the classrooms and find problems with the applying the activities. In addition, we need to develop a more various activities based on Skemp's theory for a better teaching.

In Nuri curriculum, Korean traditional culture has presented by 'Our country's plays and arts'. Games in the traditional play culture for children include ones such as tangram, top-spinning game, game of slap-match, sabangchigi. In this paper, we analyse concepts of mathematics in Korean childhood traditional plays. In detail, we show that number concepts, geometric space sense, measure calculation ability and problem-solving capability through 15 Korean traditional games.
