EFEKTI PRIMENE GEOMETRIJSKIH MODELA REŠAVANJA PROBLEMA U RAZREDNOJ NASTAVI

The paper deals with practical application of geometric models at different levels, in which individual abilities of pupils are conditioned by mental differences, as well as the necessity and reasons for applying the models in early mathematics education. Different models of learning and teaching are applied to groups of students of different abilities and attributes, with the aim of achieving better results than in traditional teaching. When applying this method of teach- ing it should be taken into account that students have different attitudes, abilities and learning preferences. Solving problems through modeling enables students to find in their memory adequate mathematical knowledge and connect it with reality by constructing suitable models and algorithms. In that way, algorithmic and creative thinking is developed, which will be used in the modeling new prob- lem situations. The benefit of this model of differentiated teaching geometry contents (through problem-based teaching) is reflected in the fact that the teaching of mathematics is made more diverse and dynamic, and therefore more efficient.
