Abstract
The paper describes the analysis and characterization of partial results (mathematics) research, which focused on the issue of detection of key knowledge and skills of pupils and students in primary and secondary schools in selected regions in Slovakia and the Czech Republic (the border area between the two countries). The aim was to determine whether there are regional differences and gender differences in mathematical competence. At the same time develop and test a suitable tool to effectively detect these differences. The results are currently being further analyzed in the context of educational programs and policies, along with cross-curricular links with a view to identifying the causes of the existing differences. The results of this research are also applied in the implementation of research-oriented implementation of a virtual excursions, supported by a grant KEGA.
