A Child’s Mathematical Activity According to Professor Anna Zofia Krygowska

Abstract

Leading Polish mathematics educator, Professor Anna Zofia Krygowska, devoted her entire life to searching for solutions that would help to overcome difficulties in learning mathematics.

Her academic activity contains many didactic proposals that can be successfully used in school practice to this day. This article focuses on one of these proposals – triggering students’ mathematical activity. Actions specific to mathematical activity, that is, defining, mathematizing and schematizing, deducing and reducing, algorithmizing and noticing and using analogies can be successfully initiated in mathematical education at the first stage of education.

Keywords:

mathematical activity, Anna Zofia Krygowska, teaching mathematics, early school education
