Development of primary school students in the process of teaching mathematics
Thinking is understood as the cognitive activity of the individual, which is characterized by a generalized and mediated reflection of the surrounding reality in its essential connections and relationships. When children come to school, they still have primitive thinking. Their judgments combine the most diverse incredible ideas about the surrounding world. For example, a 6-year-old child believes that “The sun does not fall because it is hot.” Therefore, the most important task of school education is the development of children’s thinking.
