Modeling in Solving Text Mathematical Tasks by Primary Schoolchildren

Abstract

The article deals with the problem of improving the teaching of mathematics to younger students. The author shares his experience of using modeling in solving text problems, which is a description of a process in mathematical language. The features and methods of work based on the construction of a mathematical model are characterized, which in the case of complex and multifactorial problems is often the best way to study them. Examples of modeling the text problem algorithm are given. The importance of mastering the ability to solve text problems by younger students, which stimulates the development of their mathematical thinking and creative activity, is emphasized.
