Hirabayashi Ichiei has sought theoretical improvement of educational studies in mathematics from the standpoint that educational studies in mathematics should be practical. His beliefs and subsequent attempts have many implications for Korean educational studies in mathematics. In this regard, it is meaningful to examine his theory of mathematics education. But he is not well-known in Korean community of educational studies in mathematics today. For this reason, His life and theory of mathematics education are outlined.

The purpose of this study is to find research areas that were less represented by the researchers of mathematics textbooks and to provide feedback for the research and development of mathematics curriculum and textbooks. In order to complete this study, we analyzed comparative studies of mathematics textbooks published in Korean. This study analyzed 107 comparative studies published until recently based on following aspects: countries studied (North Korea, U.S.A., and Japan), Math curriculum studied (6th and 7th mathematics curriculum), and Math contents studied (probability and statistics) and etc. The result of this study suggests that the content area of creative problem solving was particularly less represented by the studies published and require more concern from the mathematics education researchers

In this study, we tried to suggest a meaningful teaching method that is a mathematical thinking-oriented. After referring to the recent trend of mathematics education, we examined the direction that school mathematics should go. Next, we considered previous studies that deals with teaching methods focusing on the mathematical thinking. On the basis of the above examination, we accomplished case studies that aims at mathematical thinking-oriented teaching. And we explained that these case studies reflects the key points didactics of mathematics such as the education of ‘open mathematics’, constructivism etc. Finally, we proposed the necessity of mathematical thinking-oriented teaching in the current state of school mathematics.

Multicultural students are a rapidly growing population in South Korea. Previous studies from the South Korean mathematics education community have reported low mathematics achievement levels of this population compared to Korean-born students. However, a systematic literature review was hardly employed. This study aims to synthesize the factors that affect the mathematics achievement of multicultural students to provide directions for future research and practical directions. Using an Opportunity-Propensity framework suggested by Byrnes and Miller, this study analyzed twenty-seven peer-reviewed journal articles on this topic. The results showed that the majority of the studies focused on the impact of the opportunity factors such as mathematics curriculum and teachers on mathematics achievements. We suggest that more studies regarding distal factors (e.g., students' prior achievement) and propensity factors (e.g., prerequisite knowledge) are needed.

Researchers have started to conduct comparative studies of mathematics education in South and North Korea. Most of these studies have a tendency to compare with the curriculum of South and North Korea in the macroscopic standpoint. But microscopic comparative studies on each topic of school mathematics have not been attempted yet. Microscopic studies as well as macroscopic studies are required to prepare for unification the curriculum of South and North Korea. This paper attempts to compare the contents related pythagorean theorem which is dealt with in secondary school mathematics textbook of South and North Korea. Through this study, meaningful differences between textbooks are founded and some implications are obtained. Specially, 'cutting off and rearranging' method needs to be taken into consideration for active learning. Also the construction of the figure using the pythagorean theorem needs to be dealt with in order to develop the logical thinking.

Being aware of the present situation in Latvia and in whole Europe, Mathematics curriculum development is a topical issue. One of the ways how to deal with it is the application of study modules in the study process. The division of Mathematics studies in the Forms and Content Modules allows students to understand better the organization of study process of mathematics, and creates conceptual awareness of Mathematics logics and its practical application helping students to understand causal relationships and to develop cognitive skills. In the article will be present same theoretical aspects and practical experience in Latvia University of Agriculture.

In order to overcome the heterogeneity of mathematics education in South Korea and North Korea in preparation for the future integration of North and South Korea, research on North Korean mathematics education needs to be studied qualitatively in various aspects and fields. In order to do this, it is necessary first to elaborate and analyze the results of the research on North Korean mathematics education reported so far, to find important implications and find out the research fields that have been neglected in the meantime. Therefore, this study analyzed the trends of previous studies for establishing the direction of future studies on mathematics education in North and South Korea. As a result, it can be seen that the study on North Korean mathematics education in Korea is limited to curriculum analysis, textbook comparison, and comparison of mathematical terms between North and South.

In the unit disc, we find a sufficient condition to bound the Bergman norm by the weighted Poisson integral where the given weighted is $\mid$t$\mid$dt.
