This study is a comparative study on the Korean and Chinese elementary school mathematics curriculum. Korea and China have announced a new mathematics curriculum in 2011, and haverecently carried out in the whole school year. Korea and China are the countries to manage the national curriculum. The comparison with China is significant because of the similarity of our tradition and culture. In addition, the influence of Chinese education has been increasing gradually. Thus, the curriculum comparison between China and Korea has a significant value. Through this study, I extract the significant implications of mathematics education in Korea. This study can be summarized as the following. First, I have analyzed the elementary mathematics curriculum document systems in Korea and China. Second, I compared the goals of mathematics education in Korea and China. Third, this study compared the content areas and learning in elementary school mathematics curriculum in Korea and China. Fourth, I have analyzed the teaching and learning methods and the assessment of Korea and China. Finally, we compared and analyzed the proposed points for action set out in elementary school mathematics curriculum courses in Korea and China. The results of this study are expected to provide significant implications for the new curriculum document structure and mathematical contents of Korea.

The purpose of this study is to identify how developed program influence students`` creativity by analyzing creative thinking and creative attitude which is appeared when mathematically gifted students get the program expected to improve their creativity. For the study, the ``dimension based geometry exploring program`` was developed that consist of twelve lessons. The main idea of it, is implication of the novel . Through a pre and post-test, students’s creativity were measured and compared. The results show significant changes on the scores of creative thinking skills and creative attitudes. As the result, mathematically gifted students`` creative thinking skills and creative attitudes were improved by applying the of dimension based geometry exploring program.

This study aims to test effect of transfer learning program rather than students’ transfer ability. For these purpose, firstly this study design transfer learning program to apply from ‘rate concept’ in learning math class to ‘velocity concept’ in science class. Subsequently, this study is to analyze whether this program affect on ‘the rate concept understanding’ and ‘the mathematics learning attitude’. Followings are the findings from this study. First, transfer learning program affect on improving students’ rate concept understanding. Moreover, 17 among 35 students’ who stay in ‘ratio level’ move to ‘internalized ratio level’. Second, besides transfer learning program is not only cause to change students’ learning attitude, this program impact on changing their learning attitude positively. The study has an important implications in that it designed new learning program that students experience transfer and test its effect.

This study focused on the classification of triangles by angles in elementary school mathematics. We examined Korean national mathematics curriculum from the past to the present. We also examined foreign textbooks and the Euclid’s . As a result, it showed that the classification is not indispensable from the mathematical and the perceptual viewpoint. It is rather useful for students to know the names of triangles when studying upper level mathematics in middle and high schools. This study also suggested that the classification be introduced in elementary school mathematics in the context of reasoning and inquiring as shown foreign textbooks, and example topics for the reasoning and inquiring.
