ABSTRACT 

Interpretation of a phenomenon that can be presented as a geometric polyform enables a dynamic approach to the problem, resulting in an all-embracing and grasping and understanding of the given phenomenon. The objective of this work is to point out that the geometric polyformisms, as the fundamental factors of the polyform principle, that is to present them in a functional connection with the breaking the formalisms in everyday teaching of mathematics. Also, we advocate the opinion that geometric polyformisms rely upon the fact that pictorial thinking brings about 'aha' moments, thst is, sudden 'flashes' that enlightens in full the whole three-componentness of the studied phenomenon, which is especially important in the work with children with special needs.
