Sukhoyvanenko L. Interdisciplinary links in teaching elementary mathematics to intending teachers of Mathematics

The dissertation deals with the problem of teaching elementary Mathematics under conditions of systematic establishing and implementing interdisciplinary links of elementary Mathematics with the other disciplines of the professional training cycle of intending Mathematics teachers. The peculiarities of the history of forming and content filling the course «Elementary Mathematics» were investigated, different approaches to the definition of the concept of «interdisciplinary links», their types and functions were analyzed. Some specific examples of time-based interdisciplinary links were given. The issues of multifunctionality of interdisciplinary links were clarified and the definition of the concept of «interdisciplinary links». The paper highlights the links between the particular themes in elementary Mathematics and higher Mathematics, Methodics of teaching Mathematics, history of Mathematics, school Mathematics and computer science. It is suggested to implement the proposed methodology for interdisciplinary communication based on the use of different forms of organizing classroom activities and extracurricular work; developing appropriate training and methodical support; selection of training tools; choice of teaching methods.
