현재, 중학교에서 사용 가능한 수학 교과서는 8종류인데, 이처럼 다양한 종류의 교과서가 필요한 이유들 중의 하나는 수학적 개념이나 정리 등에 대한 다각적인 접근 방법들을 모색할 수 있는 가능성을 보장한다는 것이다 그러나, 현재의 교과서들은, 예를 들어, 정리의 증명에 있어 비슷한 증명 방법을 제시하고 있기 때문에, 학습자들에게 수학에 대한 폭넓은 시각과 다양한 수학적 아이디어를 제공할 수 있는 기회를 효과적으로 살리지 못하고 있다. 본 연구에서는 평면 기하학의 중요한 정리들 중의 하나인 ‘삼각형의 세 중선은 한 점에서 만나고, 각각의 중선은 교점에 의해 2:1로 나뉜다.’에 대한 다양한 증명들을 살펴보고, 각각의 증명들이 가지는 수학 교육적 의의를 고찰할 것이다.

We agree with Hanna and Jahnke's assertion on the use of arguments from physics in mathematical proofs and analyze their educational example of the use of arguments from physics in the proof of the center of gravity of a triangle. Moreover, we suggest practical models for the center of gravity of a triangle for the demonstration in a classroom. Comparing with the traditional mathematical arguments, the role of concepts and models from physics in arguments from physics will be clearly pointed out. Also, the necessity for arguments from physics in the classroom will be discussed in this paper.

The centroid of triangle is physical property but almost mathematics teachers do not teach centroid by the help of experiments an so they have misconception on principle of centroid. In this paper we investigate whether teachers have made an experiment on centroid of triangle, and we check up on the level of understanding on centroid for mathematics teachers. We introduce the method of teaching centroid and study the process of generalization about centroid of triangle for gifted students.

In this paper we study formulae of the triangle's area. We solve problems related with making new formulae of the triangle's area. These formulae is consisted of some elements of triangle, for example side, angle, median, perimeter, radius of circumcircle. We transform formulae $S=\frac{1}{2}acsinB$, $S=\frac{abc}{4R}$, $S=\sqrt{p(p-a)(p-b)(p-c)}$, and make new formulae of the triangle's area. Some formulas are received in the process of Research and Education program in the science high school. We expect that our results will be used in the Research and Education program in the science high school.

Mathematics curriculum according to 2009 Revised National Curriculum suggests that school mathematics must cultivate interest and curiosity about mathematics in addition to creative thinking ability of students, and ability and attitude of observing and analyzing many things happening around. Centroid of a triangle in 2007 Revised National Curriculum is defined as 'an intersection point of three median lines of a triangle' and it has been instructed focusing on proof study that uses characteristic of parallel lines and similarity of a triangle. This could not teach by focusing on the centroid itself and there is a problem of planting a miss concept to students. And therefore this writing suggests centroid must be taught according to its essence that centroid is 'a dot that forms equilibrium', and a justification method about this could be different.

Derivation of TSK fuzzy model from nonlinear differential equation is fundamental issue in the field of theoretical fuzzy control. The method which does not yield affine local differential equations at off-equilibrium points is proposed in this paper. A prototype TSK fuzzy model which has triangular membership functions for linguistic terms of the antecedent part is derived systematically. And then GA is used to modify the membership functions optimally. Simulation results show the validity of the proposed method.
