memory management, programming, education, variables

The main goal of article is to acquaint with experiences in education of basic algorithms and programming and utilization of supporting applications for teaching of this demanding area. One of the necessities for adequate and effective use of acquired knowledge and skills in the area of algorithms and programming is the basic orientation in the computer memory management system at the declaration of static and dynamic variables and during runtime. It is a difficult and rather abstract area for students. To support the teaching of this issue, we certify the particular method based on active student movement as memory cells in the class. This didactic game has clear rules, which correspond with rules for addressing and allocating memory cells. In lessons we use software tools, which demonstrate processes in the computer memory during declaration of static and dynamic variables.
