CORELLATION OF MATHEMATICS AND PHYSICAL EDUCATION

Summary/Abstract: The aim of each modern teaching is integrated learning while various knowledge is associated horizontally and vertically. At the Teachers' Training Faculty in Belgrade, we have practiced camping of our students at the most remote parts of Serbia where students learn how to survive in nature. They find themselves in various and most incredible situations in which they have to practice mounteneering, swimming, finding food in the surroundings in nature, etc. It has shown that many situations, besides physical fitness and good health, require a solid mathematical knowledge. We are trying to present elementally mathematical knowledge indispensable for survival outdoors, in nature, in this work. These knowledge enable us to orientate without a compass, determine the height of an object , the width of a river, the distance of heavenly bodies, etc. Having in mind the fact that future teachers are on camping, we also point to the aesthetic side of upbringing and education.We admire mathematical organization of nature in various situations. We point to mathematics present at a leaf of a tree, honeycomb of bees, animals’ growth , etc.
