Abstract:
Inquiry-based education has recently been strongly developing direction with respect to the pedagogical theory of constructivism, sensualism, epistemology and theory of modeling in response to new trends in education, demonstrated in more intense application of activities oriented to a change of acquiring and mastering of new knowledge by pupils including active use of information and communication technologies in lessons and in individual preparation for lessons. Maths teaching does not fall behind as well starting from the 1st grade elementary school through secondary and high school to preparation of future teachers of mathematics at the university. Very suitable areas of mathematics for independent research and discovery pupils geometry, which invites you to enter the job inquiry-oriented. The situation is worsened by the potential of dynamic geometry software, which are particularly suitable for independent research and experimentation.
