Abstract

The 7thnational curriculum classified organization of curriculum into curricular activities, discretional activities and extracurricular activities. The core of the revision was to allow unit school to decide on goal, contents, method and evaluation suitable to educational demand and conditions of unit school by including discretional activities in the curriculum. Discretional activities are largely divided into text-related discretional activities and creative discretional activities. In creative discretional activities, any standard of goal and contents is not suggested and related texts are not published. Therefore, there are difficulties in its plan and practice. Therefore, the purpose of the study was to give a help in operating creative discretional activities and to contribute to improving students’ mathematical ability by developing and operating mathematical activities in creative discretional activities. To achieve the purpose, the study examined concept and meaning of discretional activities through literary research and preceding data of researches on creative discretional activities. On the basis of the above, the study developed and operated mathematical activities for creative discretional activities in middle school by establishing basic direction of data selection and development. In the 21st century full of knowledge and information, it is natural that mathematics occupies higher weight and its value is more emphasized. For, mathematical education lets students improve their creative ability to collect information required to settling reasonable questions positively, to compare/analyze the collected information and to treat the information usefully. Logicality, strictness and briefness of mathematics are abilities more required to contemporary people in information-oriented society than any other. To improve such abilities, it is necessary to improve learners’positive learning activities and mathematical attitude of thinking in school. If an opportunity to let students experience more diverse contents in diverse methods with creative discretional activities is offered to students, their prejudice for mathematics- continuity of boring calculation and formula memorization- will be improved to some extent. It is expected that development and operation of mathematical data for creative discretional activities will offer teachers an idea to apply them to creative discretional activities and give students a help in improving self-directed learning ability by increasing their interest for mathematics and improving their mathematical power.
