Brabcová, Eliška ; Kaslová, Michaela (advisor) ; Vondrová, Naďa (referee)
The subject of this master thesis is outdoor mathematics in the context of the city of Pilsen intended second grade pupils of primary schools. I chose the topic of the thesis for its poten- tial in the development of pupils' spatial intelligence and for connecting different disciplines and getting closer to real mathematical situations. The aim of this thesis is to design suitable outdoor mathematics activities in the context of the city of Pilsen for pupils aged 11-15 years and to verify the suitability of these activities with pupils. Validation of the activities in practice is subsequently reflected upon, or mo- difications are suggested or additional notes are provided for use in practice. The methods used in the outdoor learning activities include text work, problem solving, practical expe- rience and discussion. The activities are analysed using criteria with scores and grouped according to their applicability in practice for the type of sample. Based on the scores, eight of the ten activities designed are considered applicable in practice for the sample type with minor or greater modifications. Four of them are considered appli- cable to practice for the sample type based on the criteria set. The discussion summarizes the criteria used the results of the work and additional comments. The...

The subject of this thesis is outdoor mathematics education for pupils aged 11- 15 in the con- text of the city of Pilsen. The main aim was to design a series of outdoor mathematics activities for lower secondary education students. A reference is made to the space within the Framework Educational Programme for Basic Education for the use of interdisciplinary integration and cross-curricular links, for which outdoor learning can be suitable. The work summarizes the findings on motivation, identifies the specifics of mathematics as a teaching subject and highlights the constructivist principles of teaching in the context of the results of the Czech School Inspectorate's investigation into mathematics.The most important barriers and benefits of outdoor education are summarised here as well as its conception and a few of the readily available sources of inspiration for outdoor mathematics for lower secondary education pupils. The designed activities described in the practical part of the thesis are tailored to specific locations of the city of Pilsen. They refer to the expected outcomes of the Framework Educational Programme for Basic Education and combine the selected mathematical topics into one piece together with the chosen outdoor environ- ment. The thesis highlights the positives of outdoor...
