In this study, in order to use history of mathematics in mathematical learning effectively, we investigate application of history of mathematics shown textbooks in simultaneous equations. History of Mathematics can be used in order to enhance comprehension and increase interest in an introduction to the simultaneous equations. It also can be used to help motivate middle school students to solve the simultaneous equations with much interest during the development phase, and develope open thinking and reflective thinking in the enrichment learning.

The paper is analyzed the mathematics curriculum of Korea and the philosophy of the mathematics education in the history of mathematics education. We have found that the various philosophy of Western mathematics education have led us to various views of the mathematics curriculum of Korea. This change of the mathematics curriculum in Korea have important implications to the didactics of mathematics. This study tried to find out the direction of outlook on the mathematics education in the future.
