Methodology of developing students' logical thinking abilities in mathematics
Abstract
This study examines the role of developing students' logical thinking skills in teaching mathematics in grades 5. The participants were divided into two groups. The first experimental group, the second control group. This study allowed us to identify a number of shortcomings in the development of students' logical thinking skills in mathematics lessons, and to a certain extent, it became a means of helping to compensate for these shortcomings. In this study, an elective course "Logical Problems and Games" was developed for 5th grade students to develop students' thinking skills in mathematics. The developed elective course allows students to generalize and deepen their knowledge of mathematics within the program, to see the uniqueness and high abstraction of mathematical objects. On the other hand, logical problems show great potential for application in life, practical work, and everyday life, teach them to use logic in finding the right solution, solving various problems, including everyday problems. The program is based on solving logical problems and games for 5th graders and is organized in 34 hours (1 hour per week). The purpose of this study: to develop general logical thinking skills, increase student interest in the subject, and create conditions for the development of problemsolving skills.
