Abstract:
The paper focuses on innovative and creative approaches to teaching geometry in the first year of primary school. Geometry is generally not a popular part of mathematics. The findings are based on several studies investigating how students at different educational levels solve different mathematical problems. The link between geometry and the math trail is an interesting one, as it combines knowledge of geometry in the real world with solving problems directly in the field. Through the MathCityMap portal, first grade students were able to solve geometry problems created by a math trail using different measuring tools. The results of the abovementioned outdoor activity showed that the students had gained a positive attitude towards geometry and that they had broadened their perspective on the connections between mathematics, other school subjects and everyday life.
