It is undeniably important to bring up a solution capability of arithmetic word problems in the elementary mathematical education. The goal of this study is to acquire the implication for remedial instruction on arithmetic word problems solving through surveying elementary school students' difficulties in the solving of arithmetic word problems. In order to do it, this study was intended to analyze the following two aspects. First, it was analyzed that they generally felt more difficulties in which field among addition, subtraction, multiplication and division word problems. Second, with the result of the first analysis, it was examined that they solved it by imagining as which sphere of the other word problems. Also, the cause of their error on the word problem solving was analyzed by the interview. From the foregoing analyses, the following implications for remedial instruction on arithmetic word problems solving are acquired. First, the accumulation of learning deficiency must be diminished through the remedial instruction. Second, it must help students to understand the given problem and to make of what the goal of problem is. Third, it must help students to form a good habit for reading the problem and to understand the context of problem. forth, the teacher must help students to review and reflect their problem-solving processes.

Working with dynamic visual representations can help students-with-computer discover new mathematical ideas. Students translate among multiple representations as a strategy to investigate non-routine problems to explore possible solutions in mathematics classrooms. In this paper, we use the area models as new representations for our secondary students to investigate three problems related to the average speed of a particle. Students show their ideas in the process of investigating arithmetic mean, harmonic mean, and average speed through their created dynamic figures. These figures really utilize dynamic geometry software.

Deep comprehension of basic mathematical notions and concepts is a basic condition of a successful teaching. Some elements of algebraic thinking belong to the elementary school mathematics. The question "What stays the same and what changes?" link arithmetic problems with algebraic conception of variable. We have studied beliefs and comprehensions of future elementary school mathematics teachers on early algebra. Pre-service teachers from three academic pedagogical colleges deal with mathematical problems from the pre-algebra point of view, with the emphasis on changes and invariants. The idea is that the intensive use of non-formal algebra may help learners to construct a better understanding of fundamental ideas of arithmetic on the strong basis of algebraic thinking. In this article the study concerning arithmetic series is described. Considerable number of pre-service teachers moved from formulas to deep comprehension of the subject. Additionally, there are indications of ability to apply the conception of change and invariance in other mathematical and didactical contexts.

In this article we have presented a unique representation for interval arithmetic. The traditional interval arithmetic is transformed into crisp by symbolic parameterization. Then the proposed interval arithmetic is extended for fuzzy numbers and this fuzzy arithmetic is used as a tool for uncertain finite element method. In general, the fuzzy finite element converts the governing differential equations into fuzzy algebraic equations. Fuzzy algebraic equations either give a fuzzy eigenvalue problem or a fuzzy system of linear equations. The proposed methods have been used to solve a test problem namely heat conduction problem along with fuzzy finite element method to see the efficacy and powerfulness of the methodology. As such a coupled set of fuzzy linear equations are obtained. These coupled fuzzy linear equations have been solved by two techniques such as by fuzzy iteration method and fuzzy eigenvalue method. Obtained results are compared and it has seen that the proposed methods are reliable and may be applicable to other heat conduction problems too.

Objective: This study was conducted to investigate the effects of small-group arithmetic word problem activities with concrete materials on 5 year old children's mathematical ability and attitude. Methods: A total of 34 five-year-old children (control group 16 children, experimental group18 children) attending two kindergartens in P city participated in this study. Fifteen small-group arithmetic word problem activities with concrete materials were conducted in the classroom of the experimental group twice a week for eight weeks. Before and after the activities, all the participants individually took a basic arithmetic test, mathematical word problem solving test, and mathematical attitudes test. Results: First, we observed that the children in the experimental group achieved significantly higher scores on the mathematical ability tests, including the basic arithmetic test and mathematical word problems solving test when compared to the children in the control group. Second, we also found that children in the experimental group showed higher improvement in the mathematical attitudes test than their counterparts. Conclusion/Implications: The results of this study suggest that small-group arithmetic word problem activities with concrete materials are effective in improving children's mathematical ability and attitudes.

In 1613 the official-scholar LI Zhi-zao (李之藻) of the Ming Dynasty, in collaboration with the Italian Jesuit Matteo RICCI (利瑪竇), compiled the treatise Tongwen Suanzhi (同文算指). This is the first book which transmitted into China in a systematic and comprehensive way the art of written calculation that had been in common practice in Europe since the sixteenth century. This paper tries to see what pedagogical lessons can be gleaned from the book, in particular on the basic operations in arithmetic and related applications in various types of problems which form the content of modern day mathematics in elementary school education.

The purpose of this study was to examine the beneficial effects of a new cognitive intervention program designed for the care and prevention of dementia, namely Learning Therapy. The training program used systematized basic problems in arithmetic and Japanese language as training tasks. In study 1, 16 individuals in the experimental group and 16 in the control group were recruited from a nursing home. In both groups, all individuals were clinically diagnosed with senile dementia of the Alzheimer type. In study 2, we performed a single-blind, randomized controlled trial in our cognitive intervention program of 124 community-dwelling seniors. In both studies, the daily training program using reading and arithmetic tasks was carried out approximately 5 days a week, for 15 to 20 minutes a day in the intervention groups. Neuropsychological measures were determined simultaneously in the groups both prior to and after six months of the intervention. The results of our investigations indicate that our cognitive intervention using reading and arithmetic problems demonstrated a transfer effect and they provide convincing evidence that cognitive training maintains and improves the cognitive functions of dementia patients and healthy seniors.

Nowadays variable delay arithmetic units have been used for implementing a datapath of\ulcorner target system in pursuit of performance improvement. However. adoption of variable delay arithmetic units requires modification of a typical synchronous control units design methodology. There is a representative approach, which is called a monolithic approach. Although its results are good, its proposed methodology may cause critical problems in the aspects of area and performance with the size increase of initial system specifications. In order to solve this problems, a distributed approach is suggested. Experimental results show that the Proposed method can guarantee original performance of an initial system specification with minimized additional area increase.

일반적으로 신경망은 비선형성 문제를 해결하기 위해서 소프트웨어로 많이 구현되었지만, 영상처리 및 패턴인식과 같은 실시간 처리가 요구되는 응용에서는 빠른 처리가 가능한 하드웨어로 구현되고 있다. 다양한 종류의 신경망 중에서 다층 신경망(MLP: multi-layer perceptron)의 하드웨어 설계는 빠른 처리속도와 적은 면적 그리고 구현의 용이성으로 고정소수점 연산을 많이 사용하였다. 하지만 고정소수점 연산을 사용하는 하드웨어 설계는 높은 정확도의 부동소수점 연산을 많이 사용하는 소프트웨어 MLP를 쉽게 적용할 수 없는 문제점을 가진다. 본 논문에서는 높은 정확도와 높은 유연성을 가지는 부동소수점 연산을 사용하면서도 은닉층 뉴런수를 주기(cycle)로 빠르게 수행하는 MLP의 완전 파이프라이닝(fully-pipelining) 설계방법을 제안한다. MLP는 주어진 문제에 의해서 자연스럽게 입력층과 출력층의 구조가 결정되지만, 은닉층 구조는 사용자에 의해서 결정된다. 그러므로 제안된 설계방법은 많은 반복수행이 요구되는 영상처리 및 패턴인식 등의 분야에서 은닉층 뉴런수를 최적화 하여 쉽게 성능 향상을 이룰 수 있다.

이 연구는 학년이 상승하면서 초등학생들의 자연수 계산 오류가 어떤 양상을 띠며 변해 가는지를 알아보고, 이를 통해 효율적인 계산 지도를 위한 시사점을 도출하고자 시도되었다. 이를 위해 수도권의 한 초등학교 3, 4, 5, 6학년 580명을 대상으로, 동일한 뺄셈, 곱셈, 나눗셈 검사지를 풀게 하였으며, 미리 설정한 오류유형틀에 입각하여 학생의 오답 반응을 분석하였다. 학생들의 반응을 분석한 결과, 세 계산 영역에서 학년 상승에 따른 계산 수행능력의 향상이 통계적으로 유의미한 수치로 나타났으며, 계산 절차를 처음 배우는 시점에서 차년도까지의 향상 폭이 가장 큰 것으로 나타났다. 그러나 초등학생들의 계산 오류는 일회 혹은 이회 정도 반복되지만 삼회이상은 잘 반복되지 않는, 체계성이나 고착성이 비교적 낮은 것으로 드러났다. 마지막으로, 이러한 내용을 바탕으로 계산 지도의 효율성을 높이기 위한 지도 전략을 제안하였다.
