Course content
1. Classification of specific learning disorders in mathematics (calculating, hypokalkulia, oligoalkalkulie, akalkulie,     parakalkulie. 2. Diagnosis of Learning Disabilities in Mathematics. 3. Principles of working with pupils with mathematical abilities. 4. Practical procedures for reeducation of learning disorders - natural numbers and numerical operations with them. 5. Practical procedures for reeducation of learning disorders - fractions. 6. Practical procedures for reeducation of learning disabilities - vocabulary. 7. Interactive means in teaching mathematics. 8. The concept of geometry teaching. Planimetry (SVP) - Creating concepts, especially planar shapes with use     models. Triangles, quadrangles, sorting and properties. Cutting and folding paper. Geodesy. Dřívková     geometry. Use Geogebra. Stereometry (SVP) - Creating concepts, especially basic bodies with use     models. Cube, block, pyramid, prism, properties. "Box Geometry". Cubic structures and cubic bodies. 9. Saturation in geometry (SVP) - consistency (transparency), parallelism, versatility and out-of-boundness of lines and planes on models. 10. Operations in geometry (SVP) - Graphic addition and subtraction of angles in models. 11. Concurrent views in the plane and space for students with SSP - axial, center symmetry in plane and plane      symmetry in space and its use by models. Translating, rotation, identity using models. 12. Size (size) of geometric formations for pupils with SEN - line length, shape content, body volume, size      angle using compensatory aids (square and cubic networks). Parquet. Units and their transfers with      using spreadsheets. 13. Didactic games and brain teasers in geometry, sorting them. Use to understand the curriculum and spatial development imagination. 14. Reserve.
