Pupils' solutions of word problems with fractions and percentages
ADAMCOVÁ, Hana
This diploma thesis deals with a topic of mathematics, namely word problems with fractions and percentages. Specifically, this work deals with students' solutions to such word problems. The work acquaints the reader with how selected word problems with fractions and percentages are solved by pupils in the 9th grade of primary schools. It introduces the readers to the various numerical procedures chosen by the students. Some procedures occurred more frequently, others only rarely. Each word problem is supplemented by a graph, which shows the success of students in solving the word problem. The work also includes photographs of students' solutions for the reader's better idea. At the end of the chapter, some word problems are processed using the Concept Cartoons method. The work shows mainly close connections between fractions and percentages. And especially on how primary school students look at the problem from their point of view.

Constructivist teaching of percentage in two classes with a different background in teaching mathematics
Pechmanová, Kateřina ; Vondrová, Naďa (advisor) ; Kvasz, Ladislav (referee)
The content of the thesis consists of a description of constructivist teaching of the topic of percentage in the primary school, that is the teaching in which not the teacher, but the pupil is in the center. The principles of constructivist teaching and the learning process in terms of the theory of generic models are described on the basis of literature. In accordance with these principles, a number of textbooks have been analyzed, in which the the topic of percentage is introduced, and experimental teaching based on the above principles has been prepared. Experimental teaching was realized in two classes of the 7th grade with a different experience with the teaching of mathematics in their 6th grade. The main goal of the work was to prepare, implement, describe and evaluate the teaching of percentage based on pupils' activity and their individual discovery. The lessons have been described and evaluated on the basis of audio recordings, notes from the lessons, records of pupilss solutions, interviews, notes and interviews with a teacher assistant, pre-tests and post-tests. The lessons were analyzed mainly in terms of pupils' involvement in teaching, their discoveries and knowledge acquisition, including its anchoring in the knowledge structure. In both classes, part of the pupils managed to find a...

Workbook proposal for teaching Mathematics at primary and secondary school, chosen chapters - percentage, axial symmetry
KRÁTKÁ, Lenka
My thesis is focused on using ICT (Information and Communication Technology) for teaching about percentage and axial symmetry. Specifically I am using an interactive whiteboard to support my teaching. The thesis is divided into two parts, a theoretical and a practical part. The first part is looking into various teaching methods, use of ICT and the interactive whiteboard in teaching in general. The second part of my thesis contains a workbook I have prepared to support my teaching on the interactive whiteboard and the application of the workbook during lessons for the students on secondary school. I have concluded my thesis with evaluation of my teaching methods and reflective practice.
