Features of Chinese Lower-grade Elementary Mathematics Textbooks in Contrast with Korea's

다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

Under the consideration of Chinese math education tradition and new educational orientation, we compared and analyzed Korea and China's lower-grade elementary school textbooks. The result was that Chinese textbook puts much emphases on practice, skill and repetition, presents condensed contents, provides various learning contents simultaneously, rich humorous expressions, and a lot of implicit representations. From these results, we presented some implications for our mathematics education, future textbook writing, and the follow-up studies.
