In this paper, teaching contents in area between Korea and Japan's first grade math textbooks are compared. Based on the results of this comparison, implications for improving our grade 1 math textbooks are obtained as follows. Firstly, when describing the configuration of two-digit numbers, it needs to be considered that, after the mathematical description of a concrete material representing two-digit numbers, then it should be processed mathematically. Secondly, with respect to the composition and decomposition of numbers, use of the expression of 'some number and some number' needs to be considered. Thirdly, when reading addition expression and subtraction expression with an equal sign, the way of reading them with terms 'sum' and 'difference' respectively needs to be reconsidered. Fourthly, use of the distinct expression for the supplementing situation and the merging situation respectively and use of the distinct expression for the removing situation and the comparing situation respectively need to be considered. Fifthly, the jump in representing the expression of subtraction of two numbers as the expression of the subtraction or mixed operation of three numbers to explain (some number)-(some number) with borrowing need to be resolved.

급변하고 있는 정보화시대애서 수학교육은 예전의 암기식, 주입식에서 벗어나 새롭게 변화될 필요가 있다. 컴퓨터 매체가 수학교육에 도입된 결과 수학 내용과 수학을 이해하는 방법, 교수 ${\cdot}$ 학습 방법을 변화시키고 있으며 교수 ${\cdot}$ 학습이 일어나는 사회 ${\cdot}$ 문화적 환경을 변화시키고 있다. 학생들이 컴퓨터 테크놀러지를 이용해 수학적 이해를 얻고 수학적 힘을 길러 의사소통자, 문제해결자가 되도록 도와야 한다. 또한 실생활적인 맥락에서 상황화되는 중요한 아이디어를 동시에 가르침으로써 효율성을 성취하고 내용적 과잉을 극복하고 새 수학의 혁신, 다양성, 연속적 성장을 체계적으로 지지해야 한다. 이 글에서는 학생들의 개념적 이해와 문제해결을 돕기 위해 테크놀러지의 역할을 조명해보고 DERIVE(TI-92)를 이용한 수학 학습 예시를 제시하고자 한다.

Given the growing agreement that algebra should be taught in the early stage of the curriculum, considerable studies have been conducted with regard to early algebra in the elementary school. However, there has been lack of research on how to organize mathematic lessons to develop of algebraic reasoning ability of the elementary school students. This research attempted to gain specific and practical information on effective algebraic teaching and learning in the elementary school. An exploratory qualitative case study was conducted to the fourth graders. This paper focused on the associative law of the multiplication. This paper showed what kinds of activities a teacher may organize following three steps: (a) focus on the properties of numbers and operations in specific situations, (b) discovery of the properties of numbers and operations with many examples, and (c) generalization of the properties of numbers and operations in arbitrary situations. Given the steps, this paper included an analysis on how the students developed their algebraic reasoning. This study provides implications on the important factors that lead to the development of algebraic reasoning ability for elementary students.

The study aims to get real picture of primary mathematics education based on RME in the Netherlands focusing on number and operations strand by reflecting and analyzing the documents in relation to the primary school mathematics curriculum. In order to attain these purposes, the present paper describes the core goals for mathematics education, Dutch Pluspunt textbook series for the primary school, and a learning-teaching trajectory by TAL project which are determinants of the Dutch primary school mathematics curriculum. Under these reflections on the documents, it is analyzed what is the characteristics of number and operations strand in the Nether-lands as follows: counting numbers, contextualization, positioning, structuring, progressive algoritmization based on levels, estimation and insightful use of a calculator. Finally, discussing Points for improving our primary mathematics curriculum and textbook series development are described.

In this paper, I review the origins, activities, and influences on the future mathematical development of the Analytical Society of Cambridge. The story of the late 18th century Scotland mathematicians and the early 19th century Cambridge mathematician such as Woodhouse, and the Analytical Society's history show that the Analytical Society wasn't a completely new and reformative meeting. This article reveals that the new analytical studies developed characteristically in Britain's specific intellectual and social context of the late 18th century and the early 19th century.

The purpose of this study is to compare the process of mathematical modeling in mathematical modeling class according to group organization, and to investigate whether it shows improvement in mathematical reasoning ability. A total of 24 classes with 3 mathematical modeling activities were designed to investigate the research problem. The result of this study showed that the heterogeneous groups performed better than the homogeneous groups in terms of both the performance ability of mathematical modeling and mathematical reasoning ability. This study implies that, with respect to group design for applying mathematical modeling in teaching mathematics, heterogeneous group design would be more efficient than homogeneous group design.

Given that less attention has been paid to teachers than students in mathematics education, this study attempted to provide theoretical foundations to understand better mathematics teacher learning and teaching practice in transition. First, this paper summarized three conceptions of teacher learning on the basis of the relationships of knowledge and practice followed by several implications to mathematics teacher education. Second, this paper provided a brief overview of cognition as situated, social, and distributed. This paper then explored new implications and issues about mathematics teacher learning that the overview brought to light. It is expected for teacher educators and researchers to participate in rich discussion of many implicit issues about teacher learning that this paper begins to raise.

Mathematical modelling is a useful method for reinterpreting the real world and for solving real problems. In this paper, we introduced a theory on mathematical modelling. Further, we developed a mathematical model of the H1N1 influenza with Excel. Then, we analyzed the model which tells us what role it can play in an appropriate prediction of the future and in the decision of accompanied policies.

Situation awareness는 유비쿼터스 환경에서 사용자의 상황에 맞는 적절한 서비스를 제공하기 위한 방법으로, 다양한 context와 action이력을 기술하여 협동 시스템을 표현할 수 있는 Situation Aware-Interface Definition Language(SA-IDL) 접근방법이 유용하다. 하지만, SA-IDL로 다수의 상황인지 서비스를 만들게 될 때 서비스 단독으로는 문제가 없을지라도 여러 개의 서비스들 사이에서는 충돌문제가 발생할 수 있다. 이런 충돌을 검출해내고 해결하기 위해서, 을 수학적으로 모델링된 SA-IDL을 통해, 충돌을 수학적으로 정의하여 기술하고, graph theory적인 접근 방법과 자기 상관계수를 통한 마크호프 예측 기법으로 해결하고자 한다.

This study aims to explore how Korean middle-school mathematics textbooks on functions provide students an opportunity-to-learn [OTL]. For this purpose, we investigate 3 textbooks in terms of mathematics content and practice, the level of cognitive demands of mathematical tasks, types of student responses, types of context-based tasks, and connections among the tasks. The findings from the data analysis suggest as follows: a) an opportunity-to-learn to connect procedures to functional concepts and new ideas of functions to the existing one is very limited; b) the textbooks seem to provide students an OTL to understand functions as definitions, rules and conventions and to experience repeatedly procedural executions through worked examples and mathematics tasks; c) students may not experience to explain their own ideas/thinking by using mathematical sentence or justify their own cognitive processes; and d) students can be exposed to get a sense of mathematics as a set of fragmented and isolated facts or procedures, rather than to encourage to expand and deepen their understanding of functions.
