Research Abstract

objectives of this study is to clarify arucial points for considering "mathematics education focused on mathematics in social context", in order to change such children's attitudes as "mathematics does not relate to our life" or "we do not enjoy mathematics".
As background of these children's attitudes, we found two points as follows : the first, school teachers do not treat so much practical problems in their mathematics lessons, but parents think that it is important to teach social usefulness of mathematics to their children ; the second, there are many "pure mathematics" problems in Japanese mathematics textbooks, many "real world" problems in American ones and many "pseudo-real world" problems in English ones.
Based on this backgrounds, the following basic framework and issues were clarified. In experimental classroom lessons treating real world problems, children vividly tackled mathematics. This means that wa have possibility to change children's attitudes as mentioned above. In N … More etherlands, Australia, U.S.A.and UK,there are some mathematics textbooks that include many real world problems. However, mathematicians in UK pointed that mathematics abilities of upper secondary students were declined in terms of understanding of mathematics concepts and mastering mathematics skills, according to emphasis of application of mathematics or problem-solving learning. Furthermore, specialosts in each areas pointed out as follows : mathematics education focused on mathematics in social context has been not emphasized in Japanese mathematics education ; the ideas that human beings are partially and collectively rational coincide with this type of education ; naturally, mathematics closely relates to society in perspective of science in general ; and we can see a essential mathematics activity through learning by geo-board. Finally we constructed a list of problem situations corresponding mathematics content in order to make "mathematics curriculum focused on mathematics in social content". Less
