ULOGA, ZNAČAJ I MOGUĆNOSTI PRIMENE MATEMATIČKIH I DIDAKTIČKIH IGARA NA ČASOVIMA MATEMATIKE

Abstract

Summary: With various stages of social development, the way of life changed, but play remained, in all conditions, an integral part of children’s activities. Play can be a concrete and effective way to ensure the active participation of children in teaching mathematics. Learning mathematics through play and fun develops students’ interest in mathematics, develops their imagination and makes the learning process easier and more fun. This paper deals with mathematical and didactic games, their role, importance and possibilities of application in the lower grades of primary school. Some examples of mathematical and didactic games are presented, as well as the ways of their application in mathematics classes. An overview of some of the earlier research studies in the field of the use of games in mathematics classes is given.
