In this study, in order to support the expression of group creativity of high school students, we developed mathematics learning contents linked with mobile and online/offline that obtain the maximum and minimum values of the function within a limited range. This learning content was developed in connection with the 'environment', a cross-curricular learning topic. We explored the concept of group creativity in school mathematics. Its manifestation process, elements of group creativity expression process, and mobile and on/offline implementation functions were also explored. Then, we developed a hybrid app, 'Making the Best Box that Thinks of the Earth', which can express group creativity through mobile and online/offline-linked cooperative learning. A learning management system (LMS) and a teaching and learning guidance plan were also developed to efficiently operate mobile and online/offline-linked math learning using the app in schools. Our study found that the hybrid app, 'Creating the Best Box that Thinks of the Earth', was suitable for promoting collective fluency and collective sophistication based on complementary-metacognitive interaction.

The purpose of this study is to develop a mobile-based math learning application and explore its application. In order to develop a learning application, the present study included literature review on math education involving mobile learning, investigation of literature related to mathematics education conducted in a digital environment, and method of use and implementation environment of existing math learning applications by type. Based on these preliminary investigation and analysis, an android version application, 'Mathematics Classroom for Middle School 3rd Graders' was developed. This application can be used for learning units such as Quadratic Functions and Graphs, Representative Value, and Variance and Standard Deviation. For the unit on Quadratic Functions and Graphs, the application was constructed so that students can draw various graphs by using the graphic mode and discuss their work with other students in the chatting room. For the unit on Representative Value, the application was constructed with the mathematical concept of representative value explained through animation along with activities of grouping data acquired after playing archery games by points or arranging them according to size so that students can study when and how to use median value, mode, and average. The application for Variance and Standard Deviation unit was also constructed in a way that allowed students to study the concept of variance and standard deviation and solve the problems on their own. The results of this study can be used as teaching & learning materials customized for individual student in math classes and will provide anyone the opportunity to engage in an interesting self-directed learning of math at anytime. Developed in the format of real life study, the application will contribute to helping students develop a positive attitude about math.

Linear Algebra are arguably the most popular math subjects in colleges. We believe that students' learning and understanding of linear algebra can be improved substantially if we incorporate the latest advanced information technologies in our teaching. We found that the open source mathematics program 'Sage' (http://sagemath.org) can be a good candidate to achieve our goal of improving students' interest and learning of linear algebra. In particular, we developed a simple mobile content which is available for Sage commands on common cell phones in 2009. In this paper, we introduce the mobile Sage which contains many Sage functions on a smart-phone and the mobile linear algebra content model(lecture notes, and video lectures, problem solving, and CAS tools) and it will be useful to students for self-directed learning in college mathematics education.
