The purpose of this study is to help to improve the method of math teaching by analysing how learner-centered teaching method offsets mathematical creativity and mathematical disposition. For this purpose, research questions are established as follows; (1) Mathematical creativity between open-ended learning activity approach(OLAA) and general classroom-based instruction(GCI) shows any difference? (2) Mathematical disposition between OLAA and GCI shows any difference? The results obtained through this study were as follows: (1) There was significant difference between OLAA group and CCI group in mathematical creativity. This means that open-ended learning activity approach was generally more effective in improving mathematical creativity than general classroom-based instruction. (2) There was no significant difference between OLAA group and GCI group in mathematical disposition. But the average scores of mathematical disposition except mathematical confidence improved a little. So we can say that open-ended learning activity approach brought an positive influence on students' mathematical disposition. The results obtained in this study suggest that the OLAA can be used to cultivate the children's mathematical creativity and disposition. Therefore, I suggest that teachers should use the OLAA to improve the children's mathematical creativity and disposition.

The purpose of this study is to investigate the effect of NIE instruction in learning mathematics. There are two groups. The one group is an experimental group which is assigned to use NIE in learning mathematics for 10 weeks. The other group is a controlled group which is received only ordinary teaching methods. The results of this study are as follows. 1. There is no significant difference in learning achievement between the experimental group and the controlled group in significant level 0.05. 2. There are some difference in mathematical disposition between two groups. That is, the students of experimental group learned NIE are not changed in mathematical disposition. However, the other group takes on negative attitude in a mathematical disposition. Considering that as the students go up higher grade, their mathematical disposition become negative, using NIE in mathematics education is valuable to prevent the negative disposition to the mathematics. 3. There are some difference between two groups in the open-ended problem test in significant level 0.05. Although using NIE has little effects in the ordinary test methods, NIE has some effects in the test which require communication ability.
