Solving unconventional arithmetical problems supported by MS Excel with primary pupils
VERNER, Jan
The BA thesis is focused on the two main objectives. The first goal is to introduce some innovative math exercises to primary school students. The exercises are presented in my work through projects, for instance, Mathematical Kangaroo, Mathematical Olympiad, and collections preparing pupils for secondary school examinations and higher education. The second goal of this thesis is to create a collection of mathematical exercises, which would be solved by pupils through the computer software MS Excel. After summarizing the main information about the organization, structure, and general effectiveness of the mathematical projects, the second practical part of the diploma thesis will introduce a compilation of exercises generated in the MS Excel. The main purpose of the mathematical software is to introduce and explain to pupils the functions and teach them how to work with the computer program. It is also significant to show scholars interesting and entertaining form of studying and the software{\crq}s ability to help effectively with solving mathematical exercises, which are often included in books and the projects mentioned above. The software compilation of mathematical exercises is used in practice during the teaching experiment and its behaviour, conclusions, and general monitoring is also included in this thesis.
