Sažetak
Even though work in our schools in practice still relies on the subject-hour organisation model, there are increasing efforts to adapt modern teaching to the process of learning, while respecting the laws of child development. One such form of organisation, which respects the students’ holistic conscience and experience of the world that
surrounds them, is integrated teaching. The basis of integrated teaching is thematic teaching whose starting point is a common topic studied from different perspectives. Besides integrating the teaching contents, what is specific about this type of teaching is the organisation of the students’ activities during the school day through teaching stages of different length, which completely diverges from the subject-hour system. Since teaching mathematics for beginners is inseparably linked to other fields of education, it is clear that it can also be “embedded” into integrated teaching, bearing in mind in the process that the connection with other contents must be real, and not
artificially created. An example of such a thematic connection of mathematics for beginners with the contents of other subjects is determining the relation between objects in space.
