The purpose of this study was to look into whether this mathematising learning utilizing realistic context has an effect on the mathematical thinking. To solve the above problem, two 5th grade classes of D Elementary School in Seoul were selected for performing necessary experiments with one class designated as an experimental group and the other class as a comparative group. Throughout 17 times for six weeks, the comparative group was educated with general mathematics learning by mathematics and "mathematics practices," while the experimental group was taught mainly with mathematising learning using realistic context. As a result, to start with, in case of the experimental group that conducted the mathematising learning utilizing realistic coherence, in the analogical and developmental thoughts which are mathematical thoughts related to the methods of mathematics, in the thinking of expression and the one of basic character which are mathematical thoughts related to the contents of mathematics, and in the thinking of operation, the average points were improved more than the comparative group, also having statistically significant differences. The study suggested that it is necessary to conduct subsequent studies that can verify by expanding to each grade, sex and region, develop teaching methods suitably to the other content domains and purposes of figures, and demonstrate the effects. In addition to those, evaluation tools which can evaluate the mathematical thinking processes of children appropriately and in more diversified methods will have to be developed. Furthermore, in order to maximize mathematising for each group in each mathematising process, it would be necessary to make efforts for further developing realistic problem situations, works and work sheets, which are adequate to the characteristics of the upper and lower groups.

The purpose of this study was to analyze the effects of mathematics learning through tessellation activities on the improvement of spatial sense and to find out a better mathematics teaching method that could further develop spatial sense. For this purpose, the following questions were attempted; Can mathematics learning using tessellation activities develop spatial sense? In odor to test this hypothesis, twenty-four fifth graders of a class were selected at random. And the experimental group was divided into four groups according to gender and academic performance. The groups were protested and post-tested to determine results based on the quasi-experimental design(i.e. one-group pretest-post test design). The process of this study was checking spatial sense for a common evaluation of experimental group. In this study, tangram, pattern block, and GSP was used for mathematics learning through tessellation activities during each independent-study, discretion-activity, and math class. The instrument used in this study was a spatial sense test and pretest and post-test were implemented with the same instrument(i.e. K-WISC-III Activity Test). In conclusion, mathematics learning through tessellation activities with tangram, pattern block, and GSP is an effective teaching and learning method for the improvement of the spatial sense.

최근 수학교육에서는 수학 쓰기 활동이 활발히 연구되고 있다. 이에 본 연구에서는 '수학동화'라는 쓰기 활동을 새롭게 구안하여 학생들에게 적용해 보고, 이를 통해 나타나는 학생들의 인지적 정의적 특성을 분석하는 데에 그 목적이 있다. 수학동화 쓰기 활동을 하면서 많은 학생들이 이미 학습한 수학적 지식에 대한 반성적 사고를 통해 학습한 수학 내용을 재구성하고 응용하였다. 또한, 수학동화 쓰기 활동을 하는 동안 학생들의 수학적 의사소통 활동이 매우 활발해졌으며, 이를 통해 학생들은 학습한 수학적 지식에 대한 재학습의 기회를 갖게 되었다. 학생들은 수학동화 쓰기 활동을 통해 수학의 실제적인 활용 장면을 스스로 찾을 수 있게 되었으며, 수학 학습에 대한 필요성을 깨닫게 되었다. 뿐만 아니라, 활동 과정에서 많은 학생들이 수학 학습에 대한 즐거움과 성취감을 느끼게 됨으로써 긍정적인 수학적 성향을 형성해 나갔으며, 스스로 의지를 가지고 활동에 참여함으로써 수학학습에 집중하게 되었다. 수학동화 쓰기 활동을 하는 동안 학생들이 보여준 이와 같은 특성은 오늘날의 수학교육이 추구하고자 하는 긍정적인 측면들을 많이 보여주고 있으므로, 학교 현장에서 적극 활용해 볼 만 하다.

Within the field of mathematics education there is an active movement which attempts to apply more beneficial learning activities, like mathematical writing activities, for the students. In this context, the current study attempts to identify elementary school students' cognitive and affective aspects as they participate in a novel writing activity, the 'mathematical fairy tale.' Some positive outcomes from the mathematical fairy tale writing activities were as follows: First, from these mathematical writing activities, students began to reconstruct and adapt the mathematical contents they've learned through their reflective thinking. Second, while the mathematical fairy tale writing activities were going on, the communication of mathematics was greatly animated between the students, and they could get the restudying chance about they've learned. Third, from these mathematical writing activities, many of students became discover the practical using case of the mathematical contents they've learned and they perceived the necessity of the mathematics learning. Forth, from these mathematical writing activities, most of students felt the delights of the mathematics learning and the achievement, so they indicated that their attitude for the mathematics course was changed positively. Lastly, students began to concentrate on their mathematics learning through participation in mathematical fairy tale writing activities of their own accord.

모든 학습에서 시간은 매우 중요한 자원이다. 수학학습에서는 더욱 더 그러하다. 본 논문에서는 수학학습에서 시간이 어떻게 사용되며 이와 관련된 수학학습과의 관계를 조사 분석하였다. 학습자에게 주어지는 학습 시간은 귀중하고 가치 있게 또한 의미 있는 시간을 영위하도록 학부모나 교사들은 배려해야만 한다. 학습자는 학습의 진정한 주체가 되어 자율적이고 연속적이며 끊임없는 진정한 수행이 되도록 노력해야 한다. 누구에게나 물리적 시간은 같지만 어떻게 보내느냐에 따라서 그 질 및 가치는 매우 다르기 때문이다. 이러한 맥락에서 본 논문이 수학학습의 질을 높이는데 기여하는데 그 의의를 두고자 한다.

It is useless to say that time is precious and important. So it does when we emphasize the importance of studying the quality and efficiency of time in learning, especially in the learning of Mathematics. In this respect, this study aims to examine the overall structure of time application in the learning of Mathematics, understanding the state and problems of Mathematics education in respect of time application, and finally seeking to find the solutions for the problems. As a first step, the items below were examined for the solutions: First, the eight viewpoints of time in Mathematics education was examined and the meaning of each viewpoint was analysed. Second, the variables resulting from teachers was examined. The preconditions for mathematics education, the attitude towards Mathematics classes, viewpoints of mathematics, the forms of self-expression, the way of utterance can be considered as the variables mentioned above. Third, the variables resulting from students was examined. Learning attitude, specific activity(both meaningful and meaningless), practical uses of teaching tools, game activities, the ways of communication and problem solving can be examined as well. In conclusion, it needs to be stressed that Mathematics class should be the meaningful time for learners, parents, and teachers. The class should guarantee the satisfaction of the learners. In other words, even if physical time is applied the same to everyone, it may differ in degree of quality and value of time application according to the way one spends the time.

This study discussed the climbing learning method which studied and practiced by Professor Saito Noboru. This is the learning method which is devised to know not only the relationship of the learning factors but the systemic or structural connection of whole studying contents- affects children's math learning ability through practical class to both the lower and the higher grades. To achieve the purpose of this study, these following issues were set; A. Develop the teaching and learning course of mathematics by applying the climbing learning method. B. Execute the mathematics lesson according to the climbing learning method and analyze the learning achievement. C. Analyze the difference between application of the climbing learning method and that of the learning method by student's level in mathematics. D. Analyze what the climbing learning method gives a shift of the recognition of learning mathematics. In order to accomplish these study issues, we analyzed the text book of math not only for children but also for teachers and developed the teaching and learning course applied the climbing learning method with advice of experts. It was chosen two different homogeneous groups each, third year for lower grade group and fifth year for higher grade group. It was done the experimental group lesson applying the climbing learning method and general lesson for the control group. After then, t-test against independent samples was done depending on the result of the student's assessment(T1, T2). These two groups' students were divided into smaller groups based on result of achievement level regardless of gender. These subgroups were confirmed the difference of learning ability between upper and lower level group. As regarding the result making out grades of faith and attitude for math, t-test was used on independent sample. At the same time, experimental groups were tested using learning attitude with the learning structure chart. Through this study the following results are obtained and the conclusion was drawn. Firstly, although applying the climbing learning method to the lesson does not have significant effect to the lower grade of elementary school student's achievement it has significant influence on the higher grade student's achievement. Second, as a result of analyzing the difference between the climbing learning method and the learning method by student's level in mathematics, it is of no beneficial effect to the lower grade both upper level and lower level. However, it has appreciable effect to the higher grade classes both upper level and low level. Especially, upper level students have higher effect than low level students. Third, climbing learning method does not affect to the faith and attitude of the lower grade students positively, but it has affirmative effect to the higher grade students'. As a result of the survey of the experimental groups which were applied to the climbing loaming method, the lesson by using the learning structure chart proved to be helpful to the both the lower and higher grade. The best advantage of using the learning structure chart, children say, is easily understood whole contents of studying and is useful for review. Furthermore, using the learning structure chart is more efficient compared with previous learning method and is given the successful result to self-directed learning. In conclusion, keeping up with the current of the thought of education, we suggest a scheme as a new teaching method from the constructive learning method which emphasize the self-directed learning.

본 연구는 삼각형과 사각형 등 도형에 관한 정의와 성질 파악이 시작되는 4학년 단계에서 학생들이 범하는 오류를 연구해 봄으로써 적절한 처방과 교육 방법을 찾는데 목적이 있다. 4학년 단계에서 가장 많이 보이는 오류 유형으로는 정리나 정의를 부적절하게 사용하는 오류였으며 잘못되거나 제한된 개념 이미지가 크게 작용하였다. 이런 측면에서 본 연구는 용어에 대한 정의를 명확하게 하며 학생들의 기하수준을 높이는 지도가 필요하며 수학책과 수학 익힘책에서 제시된 도형 이미지는 제한적이므로 보다 다양한 위치와 길이의 도형이 제시되어야 하고 정확하게 서술되어야 하며 다양하고 실제적인 활동을 위한 방향으로 검토가 이루어져함을 시사한다.

The purpose of the present study was to analyze the types of errors made by students in the figure domain at the stages of first and second semester of 4th grade in elementary school that include the definition and the properties of figure, to identify the causes of such errors, and to help the teaching of the 4th grade figure domain. When the trends of errors were analyzed for each question, the most common error was the wrong use of theorems or definitions, and its main causes were student's low level in geometry and limited concept images. Thus, it is necessary to make them have clear understanding of these concepts and terms and students need to do various activities suitable for their level in geometry. In addition, figure images presented in the mathematics textbooks and the mathematics practice book have limitations. Thus, figures of various positions and lengths should be presented and described accurately, and the books should be redesigned for various practical activities.
