Sažetak
Mathematical literacy has been developed through a holistic approach to teaching and learning: through researching activities, solving problems of every day life, by involving actual contents and contemporary technologies. In the theoretical part of our study we present the model of teaching and learning strategies of realistic problems that we, the authors of this article, had set for the needs of the study. Modelling plays an extremely important role in the solving of realistic problems. The model we created included four types of realistic problems taken out of every day life and which should be solved by pupils at the beginning of their schooling. These are as follows: realistic problems not containing sufficient data for the solution; realistic problems containing more data than needed for the solution; realistic problems with multiple solutions; realistic problems containing contradictory data and no solution.
In the empirical part we present the results of the research: by application of adequate teaching and learning of mathematics we can develop children’s abilities for solving realistic problems.
