이 연구에서는 수학과에 적용 가능한 프로젝트의 의미와 특징을 살펴보고 이를 토대로 국내·외 여러 문헌에서 ‘프로젝트’로 간주될 수 있는 자료들을 선정하였다. 선정된 프로젝트 내용을 ‘소재’와 ‘해결방법’의 두 측면에서 분석하여, 소재는 ‘수학내적 소재’와 ‘수학외적 소재’로, 해결방법은 ‘탐구형 해결방법’과 ‘게임형 해결방법’으로 각각 세분화하였으며, 결과적으로 프로젝트는 소재 측면에서 일반과제형, 수학사활용형, 실생활관련형, 타교과연계형의 유형으로, 해결방법 측면에서는 자료수집형, 정보활용형, 도구활용형, 게임형의 유형으로 나눠질 수 있는 것으로 나타났다.

In this study, the meanings and properties of a project method were investigated and as a result, a project method should be a type of non-routine problem requiring open-response, which can be solved by using a mathematical knowledge. On the basis of the those properties of the project method, eighty projects were selected from three types of mathematics textbooks and one teaching-learning material. In general, important two factors of a mathematics problem are mathematical 'contents' included in the question and 'solution method' for solving it. eighty projects selected in this study were classified by the two factors. As a result, the content factor derived four types of projects, and solution method factor derived additional four types of projects. The former are projects grouped as performing general task, applying mathematical history, relating to real-life, and connecting with other subjects. The latter are grouped as investigating data, using information, applying instructional tools, and executing game.
