Outline of Final Research Achievements

By observing kindergarten students' activities, we recognized the reality of their using resemblance. They shared their resemblance one another and their nursery teacher enforced their activities. We thought that sharing their using resemblance and teacher support are very important, so we observed first grade students' activities from this point of view. Finally, we confirmed that their using resemblance indicated the view point of grasping shapes and one of looking shape into another shape.

Academic Significance and Societal Importance of the Research Achievements

数学教育において，見立てがどのような役割を果たしているかについて言及されたものはあまり多くない。また，小学校第1学年の図形領域の単元である「かたちづくり」における色板並べの意義についてもあまり述べられていない。今回の研究で，見立てが図形を捉える視点を与えていることや図形の中に他の図形を見る視点を与えているという役割を果たしていることが明らかにしたことは，今後の数学教育における図形学習の意義を考えるうえで１つの視点を与えるものと思われる。
