Abstract
The aim of this research is to identify and explain the effectiveness of the integrated teaching of mathematics and physical education on the durability of knowledge of geometry of pupils in the 4th grade of elementary school. The sample consisted of an experimental (n=20) and a control (n=18) group of subjects. The sample of variables was made of a battery of geometry tests. This geometry test was done twice with a delay of 60 days. The experimental group of subjects was taught specified mathematics knowledge using only kinesiological operators. The control group of subjects was taught mathematics using traditional way of teaching. The experiment consisted of four integrated lessons of mathematics and physical education. Results obtained by univariate analysis show that long-lasting effects of integrated mathematics and physical education teaching are as good as teaching mathematics using curriculum guidelines.
