The area of a trapezoid is an important concept to develop mathematical thinking and competency, but many students tend to understand the formula for the area of a trapezoid instrumentally. A clue to solving these problems could be found in Dienes' theory of learning mathematics and Watson and Mason' concept of example spaces. The purpose of this study is to obtain implications for the teaching and learning of the area of the trapezoid. This study analyzed the example spaces constructed by students in learning the area of a trapezoid based on Dienes' theory of learning mathematics. As a result of the analysis, the example spaces for each stage of math learning constructed by the students were a trapezoidal variation example spaces in the play stage, a common representation example spaces in the comparison-representation stage, and a trapezoidal area formula example spaces in the symbolization-formalization stage. The type, generation, extent, and relevance of examples constituting example spaces were analyzed, and the structure of the example spaces was presented as a map. This study also analyzed general examples, special examples, conventional examples of example spaces, and discussed how to utilize examples and example spaces in teaching and learning the area of a trapezoid. Through this study, it was found that it is appropriate to apply Dienes' theory of learning mathematics to learning the are of a trapezoid, and this study can be a model for learning the area of the trapezoid.

The purpose of this paper was to analyze the example spaces related with the concepts of triangles in the 2nd grade Korean elementary mathematics textbooks, investigate the meaning of example spaces, and suggest the implications to teaching and learning geometrical concepts in the elementary schools. Mathematics textbooks are usually major materials in teaching and learning mathematics in Korea, and the content of the textbooks affects the quality of teaching and learning in the classroom. The results of the study showed that the Korean elementary textbooks provided examples with limited example spaces concerning the concepts of triangles. The researcher suggested that we should provide rich examples spaces, encourage learner-generated example spaces, and strengthen the connections of examples between in textbooks and in the classroom.

We introduce the fuzzy semiregularization space induced by a fuzzy topological space and investigate some properties of fuzzy semiregularization spaces. We give an example of a fuzzy semiregularization space that is not a fuzzy semiregular space.

The aim of this paper is to introduce the concept of generalized cone metric spaces over Banach algebras as a generalization of generalized metric spaces and present several fixed point results of a class of contractive mappings in generalized cone metric spaces over Banach algebras. Moreover, in order to support our main results, one example is given at the end of this paper.

In this paper, we establish some ĆIRIC type fixed point theorems in α-complete and orbitally T-complete non-Archimedean modular metric spaces. Meanwhile, we present an illustrative example to emphasis the realized improvements. These obtained results extend and improve certain well known results in the literature.

In this paper, the notion of S-metric spaces will be introduced. We present some fixed point theorems for two maps on complete S-metric spaces and an illustrative example is given for the single-valued case. By using the similar method as in [4], a common fixed point theorem for two single-valued mappings is obtained in S-metric spaces.

In this paper, we introduce an extension of rectangular metric spaces called controlled rectangular metric spaces, by changing the rectangular inequality in the definition of a metric space. We also establish some fixed point theorems for self-mappings defined on such spaces. Our main results extends and improves many results existing in the literature. Moreover, an illustrative example is presented to support the obtained results.

In this paper, we establish a sufficient condition for the controllability of the first-order impulsive functional differential inclusions with infinite delay in Banach spaces. The approach used is the nonlinear alternative of Leray-Schauder type for multivalued maps. An example is also given to illustrate our result.

We will give an example which is a normal Hausdorff countable dense homogeneous space but not a densely homogeneous space. Next, we will give a proof for the fact that every nondegenerate component of densely homogenous spaces is open and densely homogeneous.

Sufficient conditions for controllability of semilinear second order Volterra integrodifferential systems in Banach spaces are established using the theory of strongly continuous cosine families. The results are obtained by using the Schauder fixed point theorem. An example is provided to illustrate the theory.
