Mathematics has developed dramatically in today's world and come to be increasingly put into practical use in various fields in society. However, many Japanese students dislike mathematics. We have to study mathematics education with this situation in our mind. When we consider a better educational material, we don't have to consider only within the framework of the current school mathematics. We can expect to find good mathematical materials in fields beyond the school mathematics. In this paper, we study how the inclusion of idea such as 'fuzzy theory' and 'graph theory' influences pupils' approaches to learning mathematics.

Experimentation using computer plays an important part in education and research in graph theory. The purpose of this paper is to develop the CAS techniques for the hands-on approach in graph theory specifically on the topic of constructing the spanning tree. This paper discusses the advantages of CAS as the software system for doing graph theory and introduces the software solutions integrating multimedia user interface developed by the author, which extend the functionality of the existing CAS-based graph theory software package.

The mathematics instructional beliefs of a teacher include the exterior mathematics instructional beliefs and the internal mathematics instructional beliefs. These two kinds of beliefs are formed in two kinds of different situations. The situated theory thinks that beliefs are related with the situations; so, the two kinds of beliefs are showed in the different situations. The internal instructional mathematics beliefs effect on the actual mathematics instruction, they ought to be noticeable.

New fixed point theorems for permissible maps between $Fr{\acute{e}}chet$ spaces are presented. The proof relies on index theory developed by Dzedzej and on viewing a $Fr{\acute{e}}chet$ space as the projective limit of a sequence of Banach spaces.

In [3], an extension of B. Brosowski s T-invariant Point Theorem is given where the linearity of the function and the convexity of the set are relaxed. In this paper, our main purpose is to generalize S. P. Singh's T-invariant Point Theorem to Approximation Theory.

This study is a literature research on critical mathematics education. In this study, we analyzed the literature about critical theory and critical education, especially focused on Freire's educational works. And also, we reviewed studies and lesson examples about critical mathematics education. The purpose of this research is to improve understanding about critical mathematics education. We found the connection between the goals, teaching methods and contents of critical mathematics education and Freire's theory of critical pedagogy. Critical mathematics lessons stimulated student's sense of social agency and induced student's inquiry. Critical mathematics education has a merit on aspect of mathematical connection and communication by adopting social issues and student's discussion in mathematics lessons. Although there are many obstacles to overcome, critical mathematics education is one of the educational direction to seek.
