In this paper, we deal with various contents relating to the group concept in school mathematics and teaching of algebraic structures indirectly by combining these contents. First, we consider structure of knowledge based on Bruner, and apply these discussions to the teaching of algebraic structure in school algebra. As a result of these analysis, we can verify that the essence of algebraic structure is group concept. So we investigate the previous researches about group concept: Piaget, Freudenthal, Dubinsky. In our school, the contents relating to the group concept have been taught from elementary level indirectly. Tn elementary school, the commutative law and associative law is implicitly taught in the number contexts. And in middle school, various linear equations are taught by the properties of equality which include group concept. But these algebraic contents is not related to the high school. Though we deal with identity and inverse in the binary operations in high school mathematics, we don't relate this algebraic topics with the previous learned contents. In this paper, we discussed algebraic structure focusing to the group concept to obtain a connectivity among school algebra. In conclusion, the group concept can take role in relating these algebraic contents and teaching the algebraic structures in school algebra.

This study is a study to collect information about 'Limitations of functions' related learning. Especially, this study was conducted on three students who can find answers by algebraic procedure in the process of extreme problem solving. Students have had the experience of converting from their algebraic procedures to graphical expressions. This shows how they reflect on their algebraic procedures. This study is a study that observes these parts. To accomplish this, twelfth were teaching experiment in three high school students. And we analyzed the contents related to the research topic of this study. Through this, students showed the difference of expressions in the method of finding limits by using algebraic interpretation methods and graphs. In addition, we examined the connectivity of the limitations of functions problem solving process of functions using algebraic procedures and graphs in the process of converting algebraic expressions to graph expressions. This study is a study of how students construct limit concepts. As in this study, it is meaningful to accumulate practical information about students' limit conceptual composition. We hope that this study will help students to study limit concept development process for students who have no limit learning experience in the future.

Algebraic signs are important on learning and problem solving of algebra. This study investigated the contents of letters and expressions in textbooks by syntactics, semantics and pragmatics, and considered the introduction and extension processes of algebraic signs didactically. We also categorized the signs, and looked into textbook problems in view of semiotic. The result is that textbook is constructed in syntactics and semantics. Finally, the assessment of 7th grade students' competence in syntactics, semantics, syntactics+- semantics, pragmatics, and problem solving shows that students' ability in syntactics and pragmatics Is a predictive variable for algebraic problem solving.

The purpose of this study is to analyze that The arithmetic and algebraic word problem solving skill, strategy preference, and assessment ability of elementary preservice teachers is investigated using a statistical methodology. The research findings are as follows. First, elementary preservice teachers demonstrated logical and delicate problem solving behaviors in arithmetic and algebraic word problem solving. And elementary preservice teachers prefer to create a formula and table strategy in problem solving of the arithmetic question. Second, there was meaningful difference in the math and english elementary preservice teachers' appreciations with significant level of 0.05. And there was not meaningful difference in the 1 and 4 grade elementary preservice teachers' appreciations with significant level of ${\alpha}=0.05$. Results of the study suggest that teachers education course need to improve elementary preservice teachers' word problem solving skill, strategy preference, and assessment ability in the arithmetic and algebraic.

The rationalizing denominators presented in the mathematics textbooks is being used in various places of school mathematics curriculum. However, according to some previous research on the rationalizing denominators in school mathematics, it seems that there is no clear explanation as to why rationalizing denominators is necessary and why it should be used. In addition, a previous research insists that most students know how to rationalize denominators but do not understand why it is necessary and important. To confirm this, we examined the rationalizing denominators presented in the 2015 revised mathematics curriculum as school mathematics. Then we also examined the rationalizing denominators algebraically as academic mathematics. In detail, we conducted an analysis on the rationalizing denominators presented in randomly selected three mathematics textbooks and teacher guidebooks for middle school third grade. Then the algebraic meaning of the rationalizing denominators was examined from a proper algebraic structure analysis. Based on this, we present alternative definitions of the rationalizing denominators which is suitable for school mathematics and academic mathematics. Finally, we also present the mathematical contents (irrationals of the special form can be algebraically interpreted as numbers in the standard form) that teachers should know when they teach the rationalizing denominators in school mathematics.

This paper presents a basic theory of information flow from single sending point to multiple receiving points, where new theories of algebraic system called "Hybrid Vector Space" and flow vector space play important roles. Based on the theory, a new algorithm for finding maximum homogenous information flow is proposed, where homogenous information flow means the flow of the same contents of information delivered to multiple clients at a time. Effective multi-routing algorithms fur tree-shape delivery rout search are presented.

This study proposes a self learning material for understanding the key contents of Galois theory. This material is for teachers who have learned algebraic structures like group, field, and vector space which are related with Galois theory but do not clearly understand how algebraic structures are related with the solvability of polynomials and school mathematics. This material is likely to help them to overcome such difficulties. Even though proposed material is used mainly for self learning, the teachers may be helped once or twice by some professionals. In this article, two expressions 'solvability of polynomial' and 'solvability of equation' have the same meaning and 'teacher' means in-service mathematics teacher.

Given the importance of algebra in the early grades, this paper analyzed the contents of whole numbers and their operations from the perspectives of generalized arithmetic. In particular, the focus of analysis was given to the properties of 0 and 1, those of operations such as commutativity, associativity, and distributivity, and the relations between operations. As such, this paper analyzed in detail how such properties and relations were introduced and expanded across different grades. It is expected that many issues in this paper will serve basic information to develop instructional materials in a way to fostering students' algebraic thinking in the elementary grades.

This paper researches the algorithm, whose materiality and expressiveness can be obtained through live coding. Live coding is an improvised genre of music that generates sounds while writing code in real time and projecting it onto a screen. Previous studies of live coding have focused on the development environment to support live coding performance effectively. However, this study examines the aesthetic attitude immanent in the realization of the algorithm through analyzing mostly used languages such as ChucK, Impromtu, and the visualization of live code and cases of "aa-cell" and "slub" performance. The aesthetic attitudes of live coding performance can be divided into algebraic and geometric attitudes. Algebraic attitudes underline the temporal development of concepts; geometric attitudes highlight the materialization of the spatial structure of concepts through image schemas. Such a difference echoes the tension between conception and materiality, which appears in both conceptual and concrete poetry. The linguistic question of whether conception or materiality is more greatly emphasized defines the expressiveness of the algorithm.
