Course of pre-mathematics includes theory as well as practice. The development of different competences is uneven. Sometime students have difficulties to imagine how to take advantage of research results (part of research VZ MSMO 160862). The goals of student practice training: to observe children and to enroll the development of special abilities, (pre)-concepts, to use in practice one of diagnostic...
The notion of function plays a crucial role in teaching mathematics. Why is this important issue so problematic for students? It is worth noticing that precise specification of this notion took place relatively late, in 19th century. This is why it is so important to attempt students” active participation in defining and understanding the notion of „function”.
The paper deals with the possibilities of drawing the figures with program Microsoft Office Word 2003. Some advantages and disadvantages of using graphical and non-graphical programs for educational goals are mentioned. The built-in automatic shapes in program MS Office Word 2003 are described and all presented figures of geometric objects are created in it.
The contribution is focused on different possibilities of using presentation software in teaching mathematics. Interesting topics which students presented through seminars are offered for muse in contribution. Contribution is further supplemented by demonstrations of students’ solutions of concrete problems which were the topics of seminars from didactics of mathematics, with a view to various methods...
It is possible to form analogical problems concerning 2D objects in the space for 3D objects. As for students profitable is to learn how to formulate and solve this 3D problems, especially those ones whose solution requests non-trivial modification of the solution of the original problem.
The contribution reports on an untraditional presentation of mathematical activities for elementary school pupils, which are being prepared as a part of grant focused on developing pupils” interest in mathematics and change of their attitude to mathematics as a school subject. Solving non-standard tasks, competitions, games and manipulative activities provide pupils, teachers and parents with a chance...
The programs of study offered by the Faculty of Education of the University of Prešov contain in its undergraduate level also courses under the category of Recommended Optional Courses. The author in the paper presents her experience with teaching Fun Mathematics. The content of the course is adjusted for the Moodle software environment to be utilised in e-learning.
In teaching mathematics, interactions between the teacher and the student and among students play a vital role. Through making students formulate and defend their points of view we develop in them their self-control. Thanks to it during solving problem a child is more responsible and conscious of what s/he does. Necessity of verbalization of executing activities and explanation of using procedures...
This paper contains some results of diagnostic research on the difficulties that students who begin studies at the tertiary level encounter when doing proofs from a section devoted to applying definitions in proofs. The considerations concern the issues connected with understanding of the role of definition and understanding of the texts of definitions by students. In these considerations the examples...
Maths teaching has some specific features in comparison with other subjects taught. It is abstract and realistic, accurate and logical and it has its philosophy. Therefore teaching maths requires a more personalised approach, including highly motivating elements. This, in particular, applies at Primary Schools, as the attitude of children to maths is formed at this level of education. It is about...
One of the most fundamental concepts of the mathematical analysis is the Riemann integral. For a teacher of mathematics the concept of the integral is important because of the connections with the Jordan measure which is considered in the elementary geometry. Besides the Riemann integral the course of mathematical analysis includes multiple integrals, line integrals and surface integrals. In this...
A few years ago preparing and coneching cased to be the responsibility of individual schools. The range of knowledge and skills written in the “Basis Program” and ”Standards” have not changed since then. For obvious reasons exam papers are different every year. Hence, there is no way of obtaining answers for the changes that have been happening over a period of time. International PISA research showed...
Uncommon mathematical problems play an important role in childrens’ education in mathematics. These exercises inspire creativity in children and help them develop a sense of divergent thinking. Pedagogics students, as future teachers, must not only recognize the value of such mathematical problems, but must also be able to solve them. This article is a presentation of the skills of the students in...
Several years we have already been oriented to creation of multimedia teaching aids for teaching mathematics in the elementary school. We have successfully solve out variety of grants in this topic. We are developing international relations and cooperation. The results of our work is a program, in which we have tried to create alternative point of view of motivation and work of pupils, who arc solving...
The contribution deals with preliminary results of Attitudes towards Computer Assistant Teaching (abbr. as „ATCAT”) research into the issue of educational implementation of ICT tools in the primary school context. In this respect, I focus on primary mathematics. The model of teacher development with respect to the level of ICT implementation (the ACOT research) is given as a theoretical base of the...
