Rotanyova N. The Formation of the 5-6 Grades Students Heuristic Activities in Teaching Mathematics

The thesis is devoted to the psychological, pedagogical, methodological and scientific analyses of 5-6 grades Mathematics textbooks aimed at studying approaches to the heuristic activities of the children at the Maths classes. The analyses have allowed the new notion of propaedeutic heuristic activities in Mathematics teaching to be introduced. There are described the components of the mentioned above activities (motivating, informative, operational and procedural, organizational and methodological). The author tackles upon the psychological and pedagogical conditions of the activity formation, as well as the methodical requirements for the forming heuristic activity of 5-6 grade students in studying Mathematics. The thesis contains the methodological propaedeutic system to help in forming the heuristic activity of the children. The system will be useful when self-education is important. The proposed educational-methodical complex can be used as a means of heuristic propaedeutics while managing the classroom or the extracurricular Mathematic activities of 5-6 grade children. Key words: propaedeutic heuristic activity, teaching Mathematics of the 5-6 grade children, heuristic method, heuristic extracurricular classes for 5-6 grade children.
