This thesis discusses inquiry-based education in mathematics aimed at the decimal system and large numbers in elementary school environment. Inquiry-based education is a form of education that uses exploration or verification of new findings by the students themselves. The principles and basic characteristics of inquiry-based education are discussed in the theoretical part. The practical section is based on qualitative research. Data collection and analysis of results in 5 experiments in two parallel 5th grade classes are used to determine the characteristics of inquiry-based education and to discover the possible problematic occurrences, which could be encountered with this kind of education. Based on this information, recommendations for practical use are formulated. Results have shown that inquiry-based education in mathematics classes is beneficial to the students. Although greater care in selecting the right exercise and rigorous preparation of the teachers and teaching aids is required, implementation of this education is worth the effort. It represents an untraditional variegation for the students, by which they can calmly educate themselves and consolidate their knowledge.
