INCREASING STUDENTS' COGNITIVE INTEREST IN PRIMARY GRADE MATHEMATICS LESSONS

Abstract

Annotation. This article is devoted to the study of new pedagogical approaches to increase cognitive interest in mathematics lessons among primary school students. The importance of modern interactive technologies, game methods, and visual aids to ensure student motivation and active participation is analyzed. The results of the study provide teachers with practical recommendations on how to make lessons more interesting and effective. Increasing students' cognitive interest in mathematics lessons in primary school is of great importance in improving educational effectiveness. This article analyzes methods and technologies aimed at developing students' mathematical thinking and increasing their interest in topics. In particular, the effectiveness of such approaches as interactive teaching methods, game technologies, visual aids, project-based learning, and problem-based learning is considered. The article provides practical recommendations for teachers on how to convey mathematical knowledge in an interesting and understandable way. The application of didactic games, creative tasks and question-and-answer techniques suitable for different age groups in the educational process was also studied. The results of the study show that stimulating students' cognitive interest significantly increases their ability to think independently, analyze logically and solve problems. This article is a useful resource for educators and educational methodologists, promoting the use of innovative approaches in working with primary school students.
