The thesis describes a theoretical analysis and a new practical solution to the problem of pupils` logical component of mathematical competence formation in base secondary school. The formation of logical competence is a complex psychological and pedagogical process that requires from the teacher a thorough comprehensive knowledge of mathematics, psychology, didactics and methods of teaching mathematics. Redefining the stresses in teaching mathematics, forming a system of methods, techniques and tools that are the basis for pupils to understand the content, method and importance of logical competence - one of the critical tasks of improving the methodological activities of modern mathematics teachers. The logical component of mathematical competence is a means of improving the quality of education, and helps to establish interdisciplinary links at different levels. Furthermore, the formation of logical competence creates conditions for developing pupils' readiness and ability to think logically and effectively apply the acquired knowledge in real life.
