The subject of this work, teacher’s practice forming mathematical activity and creativity of the gifted pupils, is submerged in the issue of one of the contemporary trends in researching the methodology of teaching maths, which is called: creativity in teaching mathematics – theory, diagnosis and methodology, prospects. In this work I refer to certain synthesis of the knowledge to that point, see...
The lattice sum S_2 for the square array conditionally converges. Having used physical arguments, Rayleigh chose an order of summation in such a way that S_2 = π. The Eisenstein summation method applied to S2 yields the same result. This paper is devoted to a rigorous proof of S_2 = π for the Eisenstein summation method. The study can be used in class for students as an interesting example which illustrates...
The article gives examples of construction tasks of first and second degree on a Euclidean plane, which can be solved with the use of a simple ruler. For this purpose, the theoretical backgrounds of projective geometry have been used. It has been proved that in the projective approach some constructions on a Euclidean plane become linear constructions. In particular, a linear construction of this...
In this paper we present the results of our research carried out among the students of the first, second and third years of mathematical studies in the years 2003-2006. The research was focused on the difficulties these students faced in understanding the fundamental notions of the mathematical analysis such as: a limit, continuity, differentiability and integrability. These special problems, described...
In the article I submit a fragment of my research carried out in 2004-2007, which was connected with the role of mathematical computer programs in the independent extracurricular work of the pupil. These examinations were conducted in a group of 119 pupils from the second grade of secondary schools. The article concerns the specific form of homework in mathematics – a long-term homework. The purpose...
This paper shows the concept of a probability theory course with elements of descriptive statistics for future Mathematics teachers. This course is backed up by electronic materials provided via the Internet. An e-learning platform extends the communication opportunities and offers a wide access to educational materials available there. The contents available on the platform show the presented material...
The paper presents results of research carried out on the two following levels of mathematics education: the high school level and the level of pre-service Mathematics teachers training. The subject of the research was understanding the relations between mathematical theorem and its proof by the study participants.
The present article introduces a didactic proposal of supporting the process of teaching mathematics with blended learning. The authors discuss both benefits and dangers of this idea. Also, the concept of functional method of teaching mathematics is brought closer, as it is naturally inscribed in the concept of blended learning. In the second part of the article, the authors describe the materials...
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 the first part of the paper the authors, using general formulas, determine and describe a class of infinite series of natural numbers pairs of which are relatively prime. The second part of the paper contains - as a proposition - a set of problems concerning prime numbers and pairs of relatively prime numbers suggested for use during the process of work with Mathematics students, as well as some...
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...
CABRI is a didactic program which has won a very stable position and is probably the most popular one in teaching mathematics. The program is constructed in such a way that it not only accepts and carries out tasks but it emits and stimulates certain behaviors itself, communicating them to the user. Program CABRI, using automatic means, allows undertaking activities corresponding to the so - called...
The main goal of our studies was eliciting the opinion of graduates and students of the last year of Master studies on the course for teachers of mathematics at the Pedagogical University of Cracow. The research method was a survey questionnaire.We were interested in opinions on the level of studies at the college, and professional skills acquired in the study process. Moreover, we asked the questions...
