Abstract

In the paper problems which organizers of Olympiads are faced considered. The approach to solve this problems suggested. This approach is based on activity theory and includes using rather simple constructive problems as a first step to more complicated theoretical ones. The experience of implementing this approach within the framework of the Olympiad in Discrete Mathematics and Theoretical Informatics is described. The focus is set on computer manipulators – interactive dynamic models of mathematical and informatical object.

Keywords:

Olympiads in informatics, discrete mathematics, computer science education, constructive problems, information technologies in education.
