FEATURES OF TEACHING ELEMENTS OF PROBABILITY THEORY IN A SCHOOL MATHEMATICS COURSE

Abstract

The article discusses features of teaching elements of probability theory in the school mathematics course, in particular, the need to use the elective course of “Elements of probability theory”. The question of solving the problem of the lack of the necessary methodological tools when teaching students the elements of probability theory becomes quite relevant. One of the possible solutions to this problem may be the development of the elective course “Elements of probability theory”, as well as the study of this section of mathematics through game technologies, in particular, using quizzes – team games aimed at qualitative assimilation of the material. Thus, students can feel the importance of mathematics in professional life and get acquainted with examples of applications of mathematics that go beyond the scope of the subject being studied. The method of introducing the main methods of studying this issue is implemented in a specific educational process at the elective course in the MOAU “Gymnasium No. 5” in Orenburg and allows to increase the efficiency of mastering the studied material by students.
