METHODS OF DEVELOPING LOGICAL THINKING IN MATHEMATICS LESSONS IN PRIMARY GRADES
Abstract
Developing logical thinking in primary-grade mathematics is essential for fostering problem-solving skills, analytical reasoning, and a deeper understanding of mathematical concepts. This study explores effective methods for cultivating logical thinking in young learners, including the use of manipulatives, problem-solving activities, patterns, games, and collaborative learning. It emphasizes the importance of connecting mathematical concepts to real-life contexts and engaging students in reflective and exploratory practices. The findings highlight how these strategies not only enhance mathematical proficiency but also prepare students for future critical thinking challenges.
