Course content
- Analysis of the Framework Educational Program from the point of view of mathematical concepts. - Binary relations, properties of binary relations in a set. Equivalence relations and set decomposition. - Complementary relation, inverse relation, properties of binary relations in a set. - Equivalence relations and their use for organizing and sorting sets. - Display as a special type of binary session. Types of display (injective, subjective, bijective). - Bijective display. Inverse display. Special case of display - mathematical function - Display, examples of display in student activities focused on the development of mathematical concepts. - Concepts related to natural number and methods of their development. The concept of cardinal number. Finite and infinite sets. Inequality between cardinal numbers. - Addition and multiplication of cardinal numbers. Properties of addition and multiplication of cardinal numbers. - The concept of a natural number as a cardinal number of non-empty sets. Operations in the set of natural numbers. Natural arrangement of the set of natural numbers. - Algebraic structures. Binary operations. Properties of binary operations. - Development of spatial imagination in primary education, spatial orientation and wayfinding. Common and different properties of spatial formations, determining the position of objects in space using simple expressions. - 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. - Plane shapes in primary education (point, line, semi-line, line segment, square, rectangle, quadrilaterals, circle, circle), their observation, naming. Differentiation of planar structures from three-dimensional ones, network of bodies, cutting and folding, representation of three-dimensional structures in a plane.
