Negative numbers in contemporary primary school mathematics
Skálová, Tereza ; Slezáková, Jana (advisor) ; Jirotková, Darina (referee)
The aim of this thesis is to deal with teaching of negative numbers in mathematics in lower primary school. The thesis brings an overview of exercises related to negative numbers, which are available in textbooks dedicated to lower and upper primary school. Main part of the thesis is devoted to three different experiments - pupils experiment, teaching experiment and parlour game. The pupils experiment analysis the successes and troubles of pupils attending 4th and 5th class when filling out the worksheets focused on various models of negative numbers. Furthermore, the teaching experiment based on a questionnaire survey describes comments of lower and upper primary school teachers in regards to implementation and usefulness of negative numbers. Parlour game experiment demonstrates the ability of pupils to grasp mathematical phenomenon by playing a game. Key words: ­ additive operations with negative numbers ­ experiment ­ models of negative number: thermometer, floor, surface ­ environment Stepping ­ environment Stairs ­ word problems ­ board game ­ negative numbers
