| Description | The article was created as the result of the research oriented at innovation of methods, content and forms of primary school teaching in connection with improvement of university education of future primary school teachers. The article contains a few mathematical puns and tricks. These tricks seem very impressive for non-mathematicians; but on the other hand they can also imply the feeling that Mathematics is something supernatural which is impossible to learn. Therefore, the task, especially for teachers of Mathematics, is to explain these phenomena and clarify their mathematical substance. |
