The Korean Ministry of Education announced in September, 2015 a curriculum
that integrates the curriculum for liberal arts majors and science majors. The new
curriculum for math emphasizes the importance of ‘mathematical process’ which had
also been emphasized in the 2009 revision of the curriculum. Meanwhile, Common Core
State Standards for Mathematics(CCSSM) which is a notable achievement in the
American education system, is comparable given that the eight types of standards for
‘mathematical practice’ is based on the ‘course standards for NCTM. As such, this
study seeks to promote better understanding of the mathematical curriculum by
reviewing CCSSM regarding the parts on mathematical practice and follow-up studies.
In doing so, this study seeks to develop learning materials that realize mathematical
practice and apply it. This will enable identification of a method that will help
students improve their understanding of the mathematical process. The study will be
meaningful in that it will present a direction for developing such learning materials.
