Learning outcomes
The subject is focused on introducing to students the possibilities of mathematical software, both applying MS Office (Microsoft Equation, MathType) and specific mathematical applications used in mathematics teaching at elementary schools. It meets the requirements of educating future mathematics teachers within the state informational politics and of informational literacy of all teachers. It works with basic types of mathematical instructional environment (spreadsheets, microworlds). Individual systems are demonstrated by MS Excel (or: OpenOffice Calc and Google Spreadsheets), Imagine Logo (or: Comenius Logo).
