Preparing for school mathematics via a serie of activities inspired by creations of artist Zdeněk Sýkora
Tydlitátová, Lucie ; Kaslová, Michaela (advisor) ; Havlíčková, Radka (referee)
The Bachelor's thesis deals with the connection between pre-math literacy and art education in kindergarten. The paper refers to similar activities suitable for primary school, but the scenarios and their implementation in practice fully respect the specifics of preschool age. Both the methods and the material are adapted to this, as is the language. Activities linking pre-math literacy and visual arts are embedded in a specific didactic structure. The thesis has three main parts. The theoretical part deals with the areas on which the practical part is based: motor and cognitive development of the preschool child, a brief biography of the artist Zdeněk Sýkora, and pre-math literacy. The methodology part defines the aims, tasks and methods of the Bachelor's thesis, and is based on action research with elements of qualitative research. The practical part includes scenarios and description of their implementation, records of the observed phenomena and their analysis based on direct observation, video recording and reflection with post-reflection. Children aged 5 years and 7 months to 6 years and 7 months were observed in a kindergarten setting. On the basis of the partial conclusions, minor modifications in the scenario are proposed, which are complemented by didactic recommendations for the possible...

Use of teaching aids in geometry of primary school
Nováčková, Kateřina ; Jirotková, Darina (advisor) ; Slezáková, Jana (referee)
of the thesis:: The topic of the thesis are aids for teaching geometry at the primary school. The theoretical part presents the potential benefits of the teaching aids use in connection with the cognitive process of the pupil and the educational aims of geometry. The practical part focuses on the situation in schools, presents aids that are used, and how they are used. It is based on survey focused especially on primary school teachers. A separate chapter is devoted to aids which are used in Montessori schools. It features names of geometry aids and how they are used. In the last thesis part are formulated didactic principles for working with the teaching aids in geometry and two experiments showing possible aids usage. Aids in these experiments fulfill its purposes, which are mentioned in the theoretical part, and therefore their use has been beneficial.

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.
