The Shaping of Interest in Mathematics in the “Świerszczyk” Magazine in the 20th Century

Journal Title: Edukacja Elementarna w Teorii i Praktyce - Year 2017, Vol 12, Issue 4

Abstract

The acquisition of educational experiences by children from grades 1-3 may be enhanced by means of the use of various didactic aids. Undoubtedly, one of them may be printed materials; therefore, the subject matter of the presented text is the Świerszczyk magazine published in the 20th century. The objective of the analysis was to show the magazine as a didactic aid for teachers of grades 1-3 in the course of teaching mathematics. In this context, special attention was paid to the presence of tasks, games and exercises which offer an incentive for taking an interest in mathematics for early-school pupils. The quantity, type, and also the quality of the Świerszczyk content referring to mathematics varied, depending on the decade of the 20th century. However, the diversity of texts and also tasks addressed to young readers was a support at the beginning of their educational path. It could also provide an inspiration for teachers of grades1-3 with respect to preparing interesting and activating lessons. In particular, board games and card games included in the magazine contributed to the formation of a number of vital competences in children (especially in the area of mathematics), encouraged them to modify the presented ideas and stimulated the development of creativity and imagination.
