This article is concerned with “class culture” in mathematics learning based on the widely accepted idea of ‘culture’. We define the purpose of the article as follows: ・Building on previous studies about the characteristics and effects of culture, we will consider and discuss the status and role of “children’s questions” in mathematics learning. As a result of our discussion, we have gained several insights (from ① to ⑫). In addition, we have given several examples of children’s questions.① “Children’s questions” are generated in a “class culture.” Moreover the former in turn contributes to the shaping of the latter.② Individual “children’s questions” are often related to something universal or paradigmatic.③ “Children’s questions” can provide strong motives for cooperative learning in school.④ “Children’s questions” can help overthrow the stale procedures of learning.⑤ “Children’s questions” can stimulate the children to surpass themselves. ⑥ “Children’s questions” can enliven activities for collective learning. ⑦ “Children’s questions” can instigate interaction between tangible resources (such as textbooks, reference books, teaching materials, etc.) and intangible ones (value judgments, beliefs, thought processes, behavior, etc.).⑧ “Questioning” can be one of the effective strategies for mutual nurturing.⑨ Learning activities in which the people involved appreciate and recommend “questioning” can lay the foundation of the understanding of others.⑩ “Questioning” can encourage learners to strive for superior values.⑪ Learning activities in which “children’s questions” are appreciated and recommended may be valuable not only in terms of efficiency and economy but also in terms of spiritual and moral cultivation. ⑫ “Questioning” can trigger the formation of true identities.
