The course describes selected areas from the history of mathematics which can be used in mathematics classes for motivational purposes (important personalities, interesting challenges). Basic orientation of the teacher in the history of mathematics as a science, with emphasis on those facts which can be meaningfully used in work with children aged 6 -11, is a prerequisite for the didactic use of historical reminiscences in primary school mathematics lessons. That is why this particular course was integrated.
