Aim of the course

Acquiring the ability to prepare your own teaching materials and use them in teaching mathematics based on appropriate modern, complex teaching resources (mathematical packages and an interactive whiteboard) at the basic educational level.

Prerequisites

Knowledge and skills in methodological preparation at the basic educational level. Basic computer skills.

Scope

1. The working environment of the teacher as the organizer of the teaching process.

2. Portfolio teaching method: benefits, concept, evaluation.

3. Introduction to the theory of constraints and critical thinking.

4. Creating interactive teaching materials in the core curriculum for primary schools (algebra, plane geometry, spatial geometry, statistics and probability theory).

5. Preparing and implementing lesson plans using teaching aids provided in the mathematics laboratory.

6. Getting to know and practicing all functionalities of the interactive whiteboard based on materials available in the mathematics laboratory, resources available free of charge on the Internet and self-prepared teaching aids.

Teaching methods

The classes will use methods of independent acquisition of knowledge and practical methods - mainly laboratory exercises in the mathematics laboratory with the use of teaching aids, computer programs and tools facilitating the creation of interactive teaching materials in the core curriculum of primary schools.

Assignment conditions

The condition for passing the course is the systematic creation of a student's portfolio regarding participation in classes. The assessment includes ongoing monitoring of the portfolio, its reviews with elements of peer assessment, completeness of materials in relation to the analyzed issues of the primary school curriculum in the field of algebra, plane geometry, spatial geometry, statistics and probability theory, inclusion of reflections resulting from experience, organization and coherence of materials.
