The Cultural Revolution

In 1980, fourteen American mathematics educators visited the People's Republic of China. The visit, sponsored by the U.S.-China People's Friendship Association, followed a fall 1977 visit sponsored by the National Council of Teachers of Mathematics (Madell and Becker 1979). But significant changes have occurred in China since then. Of particular interest to teachers is that the system of education, jolted by the Cultural Revolution (1966-76), is now being thoroughly reorganized.

Main System

The paper studies solving a triangle in primary school mathematics education. It proposes a system of problems reflecting the classification of the concept of triangle according to the sides and the angles. Each subsystem of a given main system includes a basic problem with generalized formulation and a sample solution followed by problems illustrating the basic problem. The methodological analysis encompasses some didactic components – short description, construction/drawing, sample solution, necessary component concepts, component pieces of knowledge and component problems. All drawings in the study have been made by using the mathematical software GeoGebra in order to ensure dynamism and clarity, and subsequently to achieve easier understanding of a problem and finding out its solution.

Methods And Techniques

The purpose of this research is to evaluate the problems encountered in the process of realizing the continuity of preschool and primary school mathematics education and to determine the use of technology in mathematics education in line with the opinions of teachers. The research is a phenomenological study within the scope of qualitative research method. The research was conducted with 40 classroom teachers working in various primary schools in the province of Almaty, Kazakhstan, in the 2020-2021 academic year. The research data were collected with a semi-structured interview form prepared by the researcher and consisting of five open-ended questions, and analyzed with the descriptive method. As a result of the research, students were found to be prejudiced against the course, and the inadequacy of course materials, learning methods and techniques, and course activities were shown as the reasons that negatively affect education. In addition, it has been determined that the rate of teachers to prefer classical methods in education is much higher than new learning methods and techniques and use of technology. Keywords: Mathematics; mathematics education; preschool mathematics education; primary school mathematics education; teachers’ opinion.

Abstract: The aim of this study is to gain entrepreneurship skills with activities in mathematics education. With this aim, the Primary School Mathematics Curriculum was examined by the researchers. In this process, data were collected using a document review form developed by the researchers within the framework of Tarhan (2019a). According to this framework, entrepreneurship education includes five dimensions, namely business idea, finance, product design and production, promotion and marketing, investment. Obtained data was analyzed by document analysis method. Through the analysis process, the objectives of the program related to the entrepreneurial skills were determined and the activities were designed in line with these objectives. As a result, it was determined that the activities prepared in order to gain entrepreneurship skills in the Primary School Mathematics Curriculum were not compatible with each grade level and each learning domain. This suggests that some of the objectives are not compatible for gaining entrepreneurship skills. Therefore, any activities could be designed related to objectives and learning domains at some of the grade levels. Moreover, it was also found that there were any studies in mathematics education involving the creation and application of mathematical activities by addressing entrepreneurship elements systematically (dimension, subject, skill, value).

In China, we know very well what the contest problems for various levels are in the U.S., since they are often published in a lot of Chinese periodicals. It is quite hard to believe that there are only a few or even no mathematical contest problems of other countries in numerous (math) educational magazines here in the United States. Frankly speaking, the American math competition problems look much easier in comparison with those of China. So, I think it is worthwhile to introduce some Chinese math competition problems to the American teachers and parents. The problems compiled here are from the second round of the Chinese Primary School Mathematics Examination 1987 (for 5th and 6th graders). It is a 14-question, 90-minute examination.

Research In Mathematics Education

To obtain information about the research in mathematics education, the U.S. Office of Education, with the assistance of the National Council of Teachers of Mathematics, sent a questionnaire to 1,049 colleges that offered graduate work in mathematics education, or whose staffs or students had made contributions to previous studies. Replies were received from 645 colleges. Many reported no research in mathematics education in the calendar years 1961–62, but requested a report of the survey. Approximately 50 investigations were reported in the area of elementary school mathematics, Grades 1–8.

Research In Mathematics Education

Since 1952 the U.S. Office of Education, in cooperation with the National Council of Teachers of Mathematics, has prepared a biannual summary of research in mathematics education. The present survey is based on the 645 replies from a thousand colleges that were sent the questionnaire. Many of the colleges responded even though they had no research to contribute to the study. In their answers they requested a report of the findings. About 125 of the reported studies for the calendar years 1961-62 were on mathematics education in grades 9-12.
