This study is a study that developed class materials that can be applied directly to classes by field teachers in consideration of ' research on the development is valuable as a field support study.', 'In material development, organizing data centering on the knowledge composition and inquiry activities of characters related to the mathematics concept can help develop class materials', and 'The fact that the development of subject data for has been insufficient'. To this end, this study went through the procedure of 'establishing a data development plan, data development, verifying field teachers on development data, verifying subject experts on development data, and developing final data reflecting verification opinions.' Therefore, based on the 1st 50 minutes reflecting the task exploration model, it was possible to develop class materials for the 3rd time. In this study, development data were presented with a 17-week curriculum plan, a class guidance plan that presents teacher-student interaction, and a task development form that students fill out and submit in class. This study was developed with the developed data in mind to be applied to actual classes. Therefore, a follow-up study is needed to apply the developed data to actual classes and analyze the results.

The purpose of this study is analyzing 'observation and recommendation letter by teacher', which is being submitted to screen and enhance the utilization of gifted students in accordance with recently introduced gifted students observation, recommendation and screening system. For the purpose, this study will provide with objective securing plan of 'observation and recommendation letter by teacher' by developing an optimum evaluation model. The research findings were as follows: First, the result of analysis on the mathematically gifted students behavior characteristic as appeared in 'observation and recommendation letter by teacher' suggested that the recommending teachers have the tendency of giving superficial statement instead of giving concrete case description. When it was analyzed for frequency by the 'observation and recommendation letter by teacher' analysis framework devised by the author, the teachers showed the tendency of concentrating on specific questions. Meanwhile, there was a tendency that teachers concentrate on specific gifted behavior characteristic or area for which concrete case had been suggested. The reason is believed that such part is easy to observe and state while others are not, or, teachers did not judge the other part as the characteristic of gifted students. Second, the gifted students behavior characteristics as appeared in 'observation and recommendation letter by teacher' were made into scores by Rubric model. When the interrater reliability was analyzed based on these scores, the correlation coefficient of 1st scoring was .641. After a discussion session was taken and 2nd scoring was done 3 weeks later, the correlation coefficient of 2nd scoring increased to .732. The reason is believed that; i) the severity among scorers was adjusted by the discussion session after the 1st scoring, ii) the scorers established detail judgment standard on various situations which can appear because of the descriptive nature, and, (iii) they found a consensus on scoring for a new situation appeared. It implies that thorough understanding and application of scorers on evaluation model is as important as the development of optimum model for the differentiation of mathematically gifted elementary students.
