Abstract
In this study, we analyzed the elementary school mathematics textbooks used from 1st to 3rd grade in South Korea and North Korea. The textbooks were specifically compared in terms of their content. As a result, some implications on the similarities and differences between the two textbooks were derived. First, a number of content elements had been taught earlier in South Korea than in North Korea and vice versa. Secondly, most of the content elements that have been taught only from 1st to 3rd grade in South Korea, and those that have been taught only in North Korea were extracted. Therefore, we established that the contents covered in South and North Korean textbooks were different in terms of period and order of teaching and existence of learning contents. Therefore, this study draws some implications from the discussion based on the analysis of the results.
