In this article, I analyze the theoretical foundations of the division with remainder in the arithmetic of natural numbers. As a result of this analysis I justify that the notation a:b=c r s, where a, b, c, s are natural numbers and r denotes, is correct at school mathematics level and does not lead to a contrediction suggested by the author of the article (Semadeni, 1978). As a generalization of...
The subject-matter of this article can be divided into three main parts. The first one includes the theoretical problems concerning the fields of algebraic fractions and rational functions. In the second part we deal with didactic questions of algebraic fractions and rational functions in some chosen school textbooks. In the third part deep ideas and formal models of algebraic fractions and rational...
This article contains a collection of didactic ideas concerning teaching the elementary arithmetic. Although they are firmly based on abstract mathematics, they can be realized at different levels of teaching school mathematics. The source of these didactic propositions is the fact that using the set of natural numbers and suitable relations it is possible to construct the models of structures which...
In the education of mathematicians, including teachers of mathematics, the measure theory plays an important role. From the experience in and research on teaching the measure theory it follows that on of the important reasons why students encounter difficulties in the subject is their insufficient ability to apply their knowledge of other branches of mathematics, especially of the set theory and topology...
In this article we present some didactic ideas of introducing theabsolute value of a real number by means of functional equations and aninequality. The basic properties of the absolute value of a real number arewritten as functional equations and an inequality. The function "absolutevalue" is a solution of a suitable functional equation or an inequality.
In this article we propose ways of developing the active and creativeattitude of students towards solving mathematical problems. The taskswere sourced from various mathematical competitions for secondary schoolstudents, such as the so-called Mathematical Olympiad, and require theuse of Vieta’s formulas for third-degree polynomials. These problems inspirestudents to conduct their own elementary research...
In this article we consider the ordered algebraic structures of thesystems of natural numbers, integers, rational and real numbers. We presentthe ordered algebra of natural numbers, the ordered ring of integers, and theordered fields of rational and real numbers. The main problem considered forordered number structures is the categoricity of these systems determined bya suitable isomorphism. First...
This article is concerned with some topics of the transformationsof the graphs of functions. It is designated to serve as a text for thestudents of mathematics (prospective teachers) and the teachers of ma-thematics.In this paper we give the answer to the following problem:Given the graph of the function f:R Df
