Topics (the main topics are 1, 3,
4):
1) School education program focusing on pre-mathematical literacy and the beginnings of mathematical literacy – creation, SVP assessment. Individual development programs for children with specific needs, including children with above-average age intellectual areas. Analysis of the selected SVP from the point of view of mathematics didactics and pre-mathematical literacy. Strange taking into account the advantages and disadvantages of SVP and PMG in the forest nursery school. Accent on overlaps with an emphasis on dynamic didactic connective structures in numerous insertion of worksheets into didactic structures.
2) Pedagogical trends and preparation for school mathematics – comparison, pros and cons.
3) Foreign and domestic methodical and didactic materials, both printed and digital, and the teacher's critical view; worksheet analysis.
4) Analysis of children's activities, analysis of children's reactions in a given context to a given stimulus (observation or video recording); diagnosis before entering school.
5) Modification of activities taking into account the child's development, specific conditions (age, mother tongue, postponement of school attendance); pitfalls development of PMG in children of foreigners.

The course is focused on the development of skills that must be applied by the kindergarten teacher in preparation, planning and diagnosis in the area of the child's development of pre-mathematical literacy.
The course emphasizes work with didactic structures, the creation of didactic situations and the overlap of disciplines in complex activities.
The course is based on students' self-study (corresponding to the number of credits), with the fact that the teaching complements and structures the studied information, assumes critical and creative thinking and the ability to communicate this adequately.
