The content of mathematics education learned at Czech lower secondary schools is usually considered comparable to the rest of OECD countries, especially to our Slavic neighbours = Poland and Slovakia. But we can find one big difference. There is no probability or combinatorics taught at lower secondary schools in the Czech Republic. Children meet the basics of this part of math at primary schoolsproblems including a combination of t-shirts and skirts, throwing dice, etc. However, education at lower secondary schools does not follow it at all. Thus pupils are not confronted with this part of math before studying at higher secondary schools. What does it mean? Do students have any problem with the solution of these tasks at lower secondary schools? If so, does it mean any problem for older student too?
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
