Planar brainteasers and their application to increase mathematical literacy of special educational needs children
Brázdová, Barbora ; Dvořák, Petr (referee)
My thesis deals with different ways of use of Pentominoes and Tangram brain-teasers in teaching of mathematics to special educational needs pupils. In the theoretical part I introduced these brain-teasers, I explained affine mapping using their particular pieces, I analysed similar tasks in mathematics textbooks for 6 to 10-year-olds and pointed out the issues of special educational needs pupils. In the practical part I described a few lessons of experimental education with six pupils of practical basic school. In the first year we dealt with Tangram brain-teaser. We made the separate pieces of paper, we handled wooden cubes and used Tangram pictures for development of visual perception and approximation of affine mapping. The next year the pupils schemed out their Pentominoes cubes first and then they worked with them. They drew them in a grid, built pictures, played a game for two etc. At the end I summarised my thesis and I evaluated it.

Learning about geometrical shapes
Sýpalová, Zdeňka ; Jirotková, Darina (advisor) ; Slezáková, Jana (referee)
The diploma thesis Learning about geometrical shapes is focused on the development of the spatial imagination of learners using tangram. This aid is examined by mathematics and the possibilities of the usage of the aid while teaching mathematics at primary school are presented. The aim of this paper is to describe the solving process and strategies of tangram tasks, to descibe and explain phenomena concerning pupil's learning process about geometrical shapes using qualitative analysis. To reach the goals the experiments were done, their analysis is the maim pillar of this paper. While preparing the tools of the experiments, the difficulty criteria were set so it is possible to sort out the patterns according to that. The results of this paper shows that the solving strategies of learners are often similar to the adults' one, the difference is just in the experiences which make the adults' solving process faster.

Developing the imagination of children in the plane through the picture analysis
IVANOVÁ, Romana
The main contents of the thesis are tangrams adapted for pupils at primary school. Tangrams help children to develop their imagination in plane and can be well applied to teaching geometry. The thesis is divided into three parts. The first part is theoretical. The second part deals with tangrams and the third part analyses children?s work with tangrams. The thesis can serve primary teachers at teaching geometry.
