Visual models as a means of teaching in primary math’s education: problems of teacher training

Abstract

The purpose of the study is to identify and describe the features of teachers' use of visual models in mathematics lessons, to identify the problems of preparing students for the use of visual educational models and to propose one of the approaches to its improvement. To achieve the result, various methods were used: theoretical analysis of modern sources on the use of visual models in teaching mathematics; an observation method for identifying the features of the use of visual models by teachers in mathematics lessons, a case method for determining the attitude of future primary school teachers to the use of visual models. As a result of the research, the problems of preparing students for the use of visual models in primary teaching of mathematics are highlighted.
