EXPLOITING MATHEMATICS - INFORMATICS INTERDISCIPLINARY RELATIONSHIP IN TEACHING ABOUT SOLVING EXERCISES ON THE RELATIONS BETWEEN THE QUANTITIES OF ARITHMETIC SEQUENCES

Abstract

Exploiting interdisciplinary relationship is in fact finding how to combine two or several subjects in the teaching process to create a connection of knowledge and skills between the subjects to solve problems. Considering the similarity of knowledge and skills in both Maths and Informatics when solving arithmetic sequences exercises in grade 11, the author of the article proposes how to exploit Mathematics - Informatics interdisciplinary relationship to solve exercises about the relations between the quantities of arithmetic sequences. The results are obtained by analyzing, synthesizing theory and practice of teaching Maths and Informatics 11 in high schools. The results of the study have identified and illustrated the process of exploiting Mathematics - Informatics interdisciplinary relationship to solve the exercises on the relations between the quantities of arithmetic sequences, helping students consolidate, inculcate mathematical and informatics knowledge as well as see the close relationship between Mathematics and Informatics in solving problems.
