| Research Abstract |
Higher goal of this study is to develop the mathematics teaching materials which can be used in the world effectively. Specifically, the purpose is to arouse the desire to learn mathematics, to make use of the system of exhibition or educative system of the scientific museum as the institution to provide an opportunity to learn more deeply, to develop the mathematical exhibition and experiment materials for the scientific museums and to provide the concrete hands-on program of education on mathematical. With the cooperation of the National Museum of Nature and Science, Education Board of Ushiku city, Education Board of Tsukuba city, Kasukabe High School of Saitama Prefecture and Omiya High School of Saitama Prefecture, we did case development of the mathematical exhibition and experiment materials for the scientific museums for three years. The accumulated cases sorted by the field are as following six areas: (1) mathematical perspective, (2) mathematical transformations, (3) mathemati

cal mechanism, (4) mathematical music scales, (5) mathematical measurement, (6) others. The developed products feature is to be able to learn various things not depending on the school year or the stage school. The report shows the case examples. The developed materials got a lot of attentions both domestic and international. Within Japan, it had attracted attention in the points of the connection and collaboration of elementary school and junior high school, the connection and collaboration of junior high school and high school, and the connection and collaboration of high school and university. Therefore we were requested of the publication of the case study book for the walk-in lesson. In the mathematical transformations, we developed the software and it can be viewed on the WEB. Outside of Japan, we realized the invited speaker at international conferences twice (South Korea, Hong Kong), and once the entire speech (Taiwan), a study presentation (Rome) and two courses abroad (Philippines, Honduras), Especially in the International Conference of the International Committee of Mathematics Education on the 100th anniversary, we watched the linage of the historical development of teaching materials in Europe. Also, we did the investigation about the way to present effectively. In the Philippines and Honduras the developed software will be used. By showing the product on the WEB, we realized the development of mathematical exhibition materials that are useful in the various situations as we expected. We are asked that they want to make use of the products in SHH and SPP. The exhibition in a museum is the future challenge, but the products have already been able to utilize in the educational field. Less
