Sažetak
The paper presents a cooperation interface between students of the Faculty of Teacher Education and ten-year olds referring to mastering contents in the field of geometry by means of modern information technologies. A model for extracurricular activity participation of pupils with special interest in mathematics, called ”Little School of Mathematics”, was established at the Faculty of Teacher Education in Osijek. Participants in the programme are ten-year-old children from 15 primary schools in Osijek. Under the supervision of their mentors, in the ”Little School of Mathematics” teacher education students gain special competencies and skills in teaching geometric shapes by means of educational simulations ”Fido’s flower bed”, ”3D and orthographic views” and ”Quilting bee”. Pupils use educational simulation ”Fido’s flower bed” to research forms of finding the area and perimeter of a rectangle. Simulation ”3D and orthographic views” is used to develop spatial sense with fourthgrade pupils. We started from application ”Who wants to be an architect?”. Pupils are intuitively introduced to the ideas of ground plan, vertical and lateral projection ; they recognized three-dimensional shapes in various positions, sketch three-dimensional shapes consisting of cubes and their two-dimensional counterparts and notice how various 3D shapes can have the same 2D representations. Educational simulation ”Quilting bee” is used for perceiving symmetries from pupils’ environment as well as for the composition of symmetries.
