Teaching financial mathematics at high schools from a practice point of view
Vohradská, Martina ; Tůmová, Veronika (advisor) ; Pilous, Derek (referee)
The thesis is dealing with the current state of teaching financial literacy and financial mathematics at high schools. It aims to summarize information about the publications on which it is based to teach financial literacy, and then identify possible suggestions to improve learning based on interviews with practitioners. The theoretical part deals with the analysis of teaching materials and the identification of typological examples. The practical part is devoted to interviews with practitioners. They assess today's knowledge of financial literacy of clients as well as teaching materials at high schools.

Financial Mathematics in High Schools
Chrstoš, Tomáš ; Novotná, Jarmila (advisor) ; Tůmová, Veronika (referee)
The thesis is dealing with the current state of teaching financial literacy and financial mathematics at high schools. The purpose of this thesis is to sum up information about documents that are source for teaching of financial literacy and to inform about current state of its teaching at high schools. Theoretical part concerns with involving of financial mathematics in framework education programme. This part also shows what subjects are involving financial mathematics. Practical part is dedicated to research, which had been realised at selected high school - Technical high school of food technologies, which follows "Food analysis" and "Environmental ecology" FEP. Level of students in financial mathematics is detected though the questionnaire carried out at the chosen school. Using a questionnaire and test. It compares levels of students, who were educated in financial literacy and financial mathematics, and those who weren't. Powered by TCPDF (www.tcpdf.org)

Financial mathematics in selected problems from comprehensive school geometry curriculum
Kocourková, Zuzana ; Novotná, Jarmila (advisor) ; Tůmová, Veronika (referee)
Title: Financial mathematics in selected problems from comprehensive school geometry curriculum Author: Zuzana Kocourková Department: Department of Mathematics and Mathematical Education Supervisor: Prof. RNDr. Jarmila Novotná, CSc. The core of the bachelor thesis is a selection of problems that combine geo- metry and financial mathematics and can be used at comprehensive school. In the first part the author defines and describes financial literacy and its inclusion into primary and secondary school education. It also presents foundations of finan- cial mathematics. The second part of the thesis focuses on problems that combine geometry and financial matematics and on their introduction at comprehensive school level. When possible, several suitable solving strategies are demonstrated. Each of the problems is supplemented by a list of knowledge and skills prerequi- site to their solution. Keywords: financial literacy, financial mathematics, problems, geometry, comprehensive school

Financial Mathematics in Czech Textbooks from the Marchets's Reform
Melcer, Martin
Title: Financial Mathematics in Czech textbooks from the Marchet's Reform Author: Martin Melcer Department: Department of Mathematics Education Supervisor: doc. RNDr. Martina Bečvářová, Ph.D. Abstract: The PhD thesis presents a comprehensive view of the development and the position of financial mathematics in Czech textbooks and collections particularly those used in high schools with consideration of the political situation in our country. The analysed period from 1908, i.e. from the Marchet's Reform, to the present is divided into five principal stages. In each stage textbooks covering financial mathematics instruction in all types of secondary schools are chosen. This shows the level and extent of the presentation, the complexity of the given tasks and problems and the way in which they are integrated into the textbooks or the syllabus, more precisely. At first the basic general characteristics of the textbooks are presented followed by a detailed description of partial topics of study which are then analysed thoroughly and mutually compared. The conclusions of the PhD thesis reflect the current situation of financial mathematics instruction and offer ways leading to the improvement in the level of financial literacy of our citizens. Keywords: financial mathematics, principal, interest, debt, annuity,...

Interactive applications in software Maple for teaching financial mathematics
ROSA, Přemysl
The subject of this diploma thesis is to search for the possibilities of using the Maple program for teaching financial mathematics. The basis is to create the maplet, which allows to users to fully benefit from the the strength of CAS (computer algebra system) created by the division Maplesoft of the company Waterloo Inc., through a simple graphical user interface. Maplets provide all the necessary tools for the calculations, they are very illustrative and help students to better understand certain problem. Detailed evolution of the maplets from its development through possibilities to its creation is also important part of this diploma thesis.
