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.

The purpose of this study to analyze correlation for the tendency of mathematics anxiety, traits according to the factors of mathematics anxiety and mathematics attitude depending on the teacher variable through a survey of mathematics anxiety and attitude toward mathematics on teaching mathematics of elementary school teachers. To solve the questions above, sampled 250 elementary school teachers in Daegu province. As a result of the study, mathematics anxiety on teaching is not actually formed a lot. However, the more training experience with mathematics, previous academic career, education career were, the lower mathematics anxiety was. The results showed that mathematics anxiety is affected by previous academic career, training experience with mathematics in particular. In addition, we found that mathematics anxiety is affected by mathematics anxiety in their school, recognition of the ability to explain mathematics contents and attitudes toward mathematics.

Representation has been main topic in teaching and learning mathematics for a long time. Moreover, teachers' deficiency of representation about fraction results in teaching algorithms without conceptual understanding. So, this paper was conducted to investigate and analysize the elementary preservice mathematics teachers' representation about fraction. 38 elementary preservice mathematics teachers participated in this study. This study results showed that, the only model of a fraction that was familiar to the preservice teachers was the part of whole one. And research showed that, they solved the problems about fraction well using algorithms but seldom express the sentence which illustrates the meaning of the operation by a fraction. Specially, the division aspect of a fraction was not familiar nor readily accepted. It menas that preservice teachers are used to using algorithms without a conceptual understanding of the meaning of the operation by a fraction. This results give us some implications. Most of all, teaching programs in preservice mathematics teachers education have to devise to form a network among the concepts in relation to fraction. And we must emphasize how to teach and what to teach in preservice mathematics teachers education course. Finally, we have to invent the various materials which can be used to educate both preservice teachers and elementary school students. If we want to improve the mathematical ability of students, we will concentrate preservice teachers education.

Euclid's elements have been recognized as a significant textbook in mathematics and mathematics education because of importance of its contents and methodology. This study discussed how the elements is connected with understanding of math textbooks in elementary school, trying to reveal the value for teacher training. First, when details in elementary textbooks were considered in aspect of elements, the importance of elements was illustrated with the purpose of understanding contents of elementary school by examining educational implications. In addition, the study discussed the value of the elements as the place for teachers and would-be teachers to experience math system.

In the elementary mathematics, geometric education emphasize spatial sense and understandings of figures through development of intuitions in space. Especially space visualization is one of the factors which try conclusion with geometric problem solving. But studies about space visualization are limited to middle school geometric education, studies in elementary level haven't been done until now. Namely, discussions about elementary students' space visualization process and methods in plane or space figures is deficient in relation to geometric problem solving. This paper examines these aspects, especially in relation to plane and space problem solving in elementary levels. First, we investigate visualization methods for plane problem solving and space problem solving respectively, and analyse in diagram form how progress understanding of figures and visualization process. Next, we derive constituent factor on visualization process, and make a check errors which represented by difficulties in visualization process. Through these analysis, this paper aims at deriving an influence of visualization on geometric problem solving in the elementary mathematics.

Online classes have become one of the general teaching and learning method in elementary education, and elementary school teachers are essentially required to design and implement online math classes that reflect the characteristics of online environment and the specificity of the subject. The qualitative improvement of online mathematics lessons can start with examining what difficulties teachers actually have in enacting the online lessons, and this study focused on their educational needs by examining the degree to which elementary school teachers perceive and implement in terms of designing online interactions. The result showed that teacher education on Learner-Content Interaction (LC) and Learner-Learner Interaction (LL) was necessary for elementary school teachers designing online mathematics lessons, and the educational needs of detailed items of interactions were confirmed. Furthermore, it was found that there was a difference in educational needs for the types of online interactions according to the career life cycle of elementary school teachers. The instructional design strategies for online interactions in online mathematics lessons and implications for teacher education necessary for elementary school teachers were derived from the result.

In this study, we analyzed the contents of speed concept presented in Korean, Japanese, Singapore, and American elementary mathematics textbooks, and drew implications for the teaching of speed concept in elementary schools. We developed a textbook analysis framework by theoretical discussions on the characteristics of the speed concept based on the proportional relationship and the previous researches on the speed in elementary mathematics. We analyzed the textbooks of four countries and drew some suggestions for improving the teaching of speed concept in Korean elementary schools.

In this paper we discussed about the contents which were related with geometric construction in elementary school. We examined how the compass has been used in the curriculum and textbooks. Thus we found several features. And we inspected the ideas and sequences about geometric construction in Waldorf mathematics education. Finally, we suggested how to change the contents to make the relationships between elementary school and middle school better.

In this paper, we try to find through questionnaires from the teachers of Cheju elementary schools what the situation at schools in performance assesment is like at this present time, what methods of performance assesment they prefer to use, and what methods they want to be developed. After that, we are going to find the methods which can be used for each grade in elementary school.

The change of the developed countries to highly technological societies continuously requires that they nurture and use the full potential of mathematically and scientifically talented people. As this is a process that should start early in order to be efficient, the main responsibility of identifying and addressing the specific needs of these people is assigned to public school systems and, in particular, to elementary teachers. In this regard, three significant areas of concern arise and are discussed in this paper: (a) The complexity in identifying mathematically promising and mathematically talented elementary students; (b) The highly responsible and difficult task for elementary teachers to differentiate and serve the mathematically promising students within an inclusive classroom; and (c) The need of teachers with specialized training and mathematics knowledge in pre-high school grades. The last one should be considered predominantly as a logical consequence of the first two. The main goal and, hence, the purpose of the paper is to promote understanding of this crucial necessity of mathematics specialists and to advocate for a change in this direction.
