| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
This study group aims to cultivate the foundations of student creativity. Toward this within the mathematics education, it is essential for students to have a systematic and structural understanding of mathematics. In order to deepen students’ systematic and structural understanding of school mathematics, we investigate students' comprehension of mathematics, develop new educational materials and assess their appropriateness.
We carried out analysis of previous research together with our survey of current teaching practices in elementary and junior high schools and classroom testing of new educational materials. As a result, we found that teaching methods which combine mathematical modeling with learning-structure charts were effective. Our analysis furthermore indicates that it is necessary to provide instructions in basic skills continuously, such as the ability to extract variables from real-life phenomena and consider their application to other situations.
