Sažetak
Abstract: It is a common occurrence to talk about the necessity of implementing IC technology within math learning process. Today, learners' generations are dealing with technology from early childhood so, it is essential to adapt teaching methods to their needs and habits. In this paper, we shall introduce MayaVi - software for animation, modelling and simulation. Through various examples, we will provide just one small segment of the MayaVi usage - the presentation of geometric bodies and intersection of geometric bodies with plane. This area of mathematics is a part of the national curriculum for the 2nd grade of secondary (technical) schools. As in teaching, the body sketches are mainly drawn by hand, we believe that an alternative, more dynamic and interactive approach could refresh and enrich the math teaching process.
