Course content
1. Development of initial ideas about propositions - mathematical language and symbolism, basics of propositional logic. 2. Truth value of a statement, operations with statements. 3. Compound statements, negation of compound statements. 4. Development of initial ideas about sets - set element, relationships between sets. The importance of sets and set operations for pre-primary and primary mathematics education. 5. Set operations (unification, intersection, addition) and properties of operations with sets. 6. Graphic representation of set operations, examples. 7. Development of initial ideas about relations - binary relation, determination of binary relation. 8. Properties of binary relations in a set. Equivalence relations and their use for organizing and sorting sets. 9. Display as a special type of binary session, display properties. 10. Special case of display - mathematical function. 11. Solving word problems with a focus on statements, sets and relations. 12. Concepts related to natural number and methods of their development. Propedeutics of numerical operations in contextual tasks. A natural number as a cardinal number of non-empty sets. 13. Addition and multiplication operations in a set of natural numbers. Natural arrangement of the set of natural numbers. 14. Properties of addition and multiplication of natural numbers. 15. Development of spatial imagination in primary education, orientation in space and wayfinding. Common and different properties of spatial formations, determining the position of objects in space using simple expressions. 16. Activities related to measurement, work in the field and orientation in space. Differentiation of planar structures from three-dimensional ones, network of bodies, cutting and folding, representation of three-dimensional structures in a plane. 17. Planar and spatial formations (point, line, line, square, rectangle, quadrilaterals, circle, circle), their observation and naming.
