OLYMPIAD TASKS IN MATHEMATICS AS A MEANS OF DEVELOPING NON-STANDARD THINKING OF YOUNGER SCHOOL CHILDREN

Abstract

The article raises a problem of development of non-standard thinking in junior schoolchildren by solving Olympiad tasks. The need for the development of non-standard thinking in junior schoolchildren is highlighted in the process of purposeful preparation for Olympiads in mathematics, which is due to intensive changes in the education system and sets new guidelines in society and impose requirements on the development of a creative personality capable of making scientific and technological progress. The necessity of introducing a special course “Olympiad tasks in mathematics” into extracurricular activities, where the program can be introduced and affect the development of non-standard thinking in younger students, is substantiated. The task of the article is to reveal the experimental work on the development of non-standard thinking in primary school students through the Olympiad tasks in mathematics in primary school. In conclusion, the results of testing are presented, which allow to see that the extracurricular activities carried out to increase the level of development of non-standard thinking of primary schoolchildren through Olympiad tasks in mathematics give a positive result.
