Sažetak
Mathematics is known as a theoretical science. Because of its formalism it is one of the least popular school subjects and sciences. The current trend to popularisation of mathematics, developing after 2000 intensively and systematicall on an international level, still hasn't shown larger effects on changing the attitudes of pupils towards mathematics. Independently of all broader oriented activities, the role of the mathematics teacher as a popularisator of mathematics is exceptional, because by his approach he directly contributes to the formation of pupils opinions that are later hard to change. One of the main obstacles to success in popularisation of mathematics is that mathematics is a theoretical science. In comparison to other sciences it seems that it is hard and time-consuming to develop and prepare activities connected to school curricula that are at the same tame such that pupils actively, not only by thinking and writing, discover mathematical laws and the beauty of mathematics. Almost nobody, not even math researchers and teachers, experiences mathematics as an experimental science. The purpose of this presentation is to show that, particularly on the primary and secondary school level, mathematics also has experimental aspects and to show concrete examples of activities adequate for children that emphasize this aspect of mathematics.
