Korea and Japan are close countries having a mutual influence on history and have similar cultural and educational circumstances. The purpose of this study was to compare and analyze the textbooks for elementary school mathematics between Korea and Japan. First, it established the theoretical backgrounds through the precedent research comparing the mathematic textbooks between South Korea and North Korea, Korea and India, Yanbian in China, Japan( Fraction part in numeral field. The Plane Figures). Next, it compared and analyzed two countries'(Korea and Japan) textbooks regarding the structural system and concept of units on the basis of the theoretical research. And it included more specific and detail contents in comparison of Korean with Japanese mathematic textbooks focused on the 5, 6th grade.

The aim of Information Education is to improve the problem-solving skills based on Computational Thinking. In the current elementary school curriculum, there is no independent information subject. So, it will get used to browse the sub-element being applied implications for Computational Thinking through an analysis of teaching and leaning elementary mathematic scene. In this paper reveal the relationship sub-element of the Computational Thinking for solving problems through teaching and learning scene in elementary mathematics.

In this paper, we investigated the effects of mathematics classes using play-action programs in the course of mathematics education of future elementary school teachers. This study was conducted with 43 junior university students who selected 'Play Mathematics' in 2006. All the participants in this course was divided 11 groups. Play-action mathematics programs was consisted of 12 themes. For example, there was tangram, somacube, hexamino, tessellation, geoboard etc. In the beginning of lessons, we investigated theses themes itself through plays, puzzles, games, and computer programs. And next time, we investigated the relationships between these themes and elementary mathematic textbooks(i.e. mathematical contents). In 14th and 15th lessons, all the groups took a project presentation lessons that included all things about play mathematics in all group categories. And they developed two themes of play mathematics in accordance with grades, contents, levels as course tasks. Through this study, three educational effects induced. First, future elementary school teachers have a deep understanding about play-action mathematics. They are interested in these play themes, and take part in these play mathematics programs of their own accord. And they realize that these play themes are related to elementary mathematics. Second, future elementary school teachers' attitude and mind about mathematical are improved after this course. Third, future elementary school teachers comprehend various instruction methods relating to play mathematics. Therefore, we suggest that future elementary school teachers need to have many opportunity to experience and develop a mathematics classes using play mathematics.

This study analyzed the characteristics of units about ratio and rate between Korean mathematics textbooks and MIC of America. With bases to this, I would find the problems and suggested point of curriculums about ratio and rate in order to propose the basic materials of developing mathematic curriculum and textbook and improving the mathematic teaching method. With bases to this, Korean mathematics textbooks should be supplemented as follows. A. Develop the various problems with meaningful situation rather than the problems which can be solved with algorithms and rules. B. Develop the students' rational judgement competence with the situation that can induce the active communication. C. Develop the problem situation that need the student's activity. D. Let the students easily take the situation about ratio and rate with suggesting much visual mode and sustain their interest and positive learning attitude.

Using a geometric computer program achieve learning effects as handling various function and has advantage to overcome the environment of classroom through providing an inquiring surroundings in the figure learning at an elementary school. There are many software for drawing the geometric. But currently most is focus on how to use the softwares without contents. So, It is necessary to develope a geometric software adapted cognitive development of primary schoolchildren. This study is aim to analyze elementary mathematic curriculum based on Van Heiles theory, to develope the software(Geometry for Kids : GeoKids) considering cognitive level of the primary schoolchildren. This software is developed to substitute a ruler and a compass considering cognitive level of the primary schoolchildren. Using mouse, GeoKids software help a child to draw easily lines and circles and this software notice another lines and circle automatically for a more accurate drawing figures. Children can use practically this software in connection with subjects of elementary mathematic curriculum.

This study is observed in this paper that how the mathematical beliefs of elementary pre-service teachers are reflected in planning and implementing actual mathematics classes. The subjects for this study are senior students at the university of education. After examining their mathematical beliefs and analyzing their actual mathematics classes in a teaching practicum, the following conclusions are drawn. First, the mathematical beliefs of elementary pre-service teachers have generally shown in a similar tendency. The beliefs formed by the students' experience and the beliefs established in the course of preparing to become teachers have coexisted. Second, the teachers' belief in learning mathematics and the teaching practices are largely inconsistent. Third, when elementary pre-service teachers plan and implement their mathematic classes, they are influenced by their guidance teachers and students as well as their own mathematical beliefs.

Algorithms is defined "step-by-step procedure for accomplishing a task that we wish to complete." Algorithms has much educational values. Already many scholar is making researches about paper-and-pencil algorithms in mathematic education. The purpose of this paper is to propose a study on the direction of teaching algorithms with analysis of algorithms

Functional thinking, which focuses on the relationship between two or more varying quantities, is one of the key strands of algebraic thinking. This article is a case study that aimed to investigate how 3rd grade elementary students might make their functional thinking. The results showed that students not only understood the functional situation well but also created a record of the corresponding values of quantities, typically using descriptive writings and pictures. But when they tried to find a pattern and make a generalization, the students showed various difficulties. This paper concludes with implications on how to promote students' functional thinking from early grades in the elementary school.

The statement, 'Taking more mathematics would result a better mathematics teacher.' sounds plausible. However, it is questionable that how much of taking university level of mathematics such as abstract algebra and real analysis would affect to teach elementary mathematics well. Would a mathematician be a better teacher for elementary students to teach mathematics than who has been prepared to teach elementary mathematics? This paper reports the effects of opportunities to learn tertiary level mathematics and school level mathematics on pre-service primary school teachers' mathematics pedagogical content knowledge. The study analyzed Teacher Education and Development Study in Mathematics 2008 (TEDS-M 2008) database using multiple regression. Prospective primary teachers who have been prepared as generalist were the focus of the study. The results support future elementary teachers might need to have opportunities to revisit school mathematics they are going to teach.

There have been a few mathematic education programs that based on operating activity considering cognitive development level of elementary student, although we can find a variety of computer-aided mathematic teaching methods for elementary school. The purpose of this paper was to examine the effect of mathematical program based on operating activity developed as teaching materials in plain figures. As results of the post-achievement test and attitude test, it was found that the math program has been improved the achievement positively. By a result that inspects mathematical learning attitude of the experiment group, it was found that variable factors such as interest, confidence, self-learning were changed significantly more important in statistics.
