Abstract | Every person has experienced the miraculous impact of fairy tales on their imagination, mind and feelings. But we seldom reflect upon the content not only in the ethical aspect of fairy-tales but also as a source of different kinds of knowledge, among them the knowledge of mathematics. The use of fairy tales in lessons opens a new way of learning, but fairy tales are not yet widely used in mathematics education in primary schools and preschools. The result of a poll of 86 teachers showed that they approve of the use of fairy tales in the process of learning mathematics. The analysis of the content of fairy tales makes it possible to come to the conclusion that here are figurative and conspicuous connections found in the foundation of the theory of probability. Fairy tales also give a striking reflection of the interconnection between quantities and measures, different kinds of measures are used - the thumb (Mary Thumb), an inch (Tom Thumb), a length of three steps, etc. (Orig.). |
