Course content
Lectures: In the lectures, a brief theoretical introduction to the mentioned topics and introduction to basic concepts from the didactic point of view are done. All concepts will be interpreted from the point of view of their application in the teaching of mathematics at the primary school level, while the accuracy of the interpretation is subordinate to this aspect. 1. Congruent geometric mappings in the plane and in the space (centre, axial, and planar symmetry, translation, rotation, identity) - properties of mappings, usage, compositions of mappings. 3. Similar geometric mappings (similarity, enlargements) - properties of mappings, usage. 5. Sets of points of given properties - examples. Constructive problems, phases and methods for their solving. 7. Binary operations in geometry. 9. Binary relations in geometry. 11. Work with GeoGebra - tasks focused on the themes taught. 13. Reserve (didactic games and activities in geometry). Seminars: The seminars are taught on the basis of the previous lectures, including practical applications of the primary school level of mathematics. 2. Congruent mappings, determinations, definitions, examples of congruent mappings, usage. Compositions of congruent mappings. 4. Similar mappings, determinations, definitions, examples of similar mappings, usage. 6. Construction tasks, phases, and solution methods; using sets of points of the given property, using mappings, and basic construction. 8. Binary operations in geometry. 10. Binary relations in geometry. 12. Work with GeoGebra - tasks focused on the discussed topics.
