HISTORICAL EXCURSION IN MATHEMATICS TEACHING

Abstract

A historical excursion in the teaching of mathematics is the covering of information from the history of mathematics relevant to the subject being studied as part of the mathematics curriculum. The information contained in each individual historical excursion should correspond to the content of the material being studied. The transmission of any educational information, including historical and mathematical information, can have different content, form of presentation and duration. The form, content and duration determine the effect of the transmitted information on the listeners, more precisely, on the students.
