Course content
Attention is devoted to diverse aspects of work of the teacher and pupil with learning tasks (tasks in mathematics textbooks, in the didactic test at different stages of the educational process due to age and individual peculiarities of students - problems for talented pupils and lagging due to specific aspects of teaching - role for domestic labor, competition, entrance examinations, school project, etc.), interesting problems from the history of mathematics, technical possibilities of using teaching resources and information and communication technologies as a source of problem ideas.

Learning activities and teaching methods
Dialogic Lecture (Discussion, Dialog, Brainstorming), Work with Text (with Book, Textbook)
  • Attendace - 4 hours per semester
  • Homework for Teaching - 14 hours per semester
  • Semestral Work - 6 hours per semester
Learning outcomes
The purpose of the course is to broaden and deepen the student knowledge from the previous mathematical and didactic training in the theory of mathematical learning tasks (typology and taxonomy problems, methods and solutions) and educational reality, reflecting the experience of pupils from the current pedagogical practices (management learning activities of students in solving tasks, analysis of pupils' problem-solving processes, assessment and evaluation of correct and incorrect solution of the problem).
The student is oriented in broad issue of mathematical problem solving in the context of primary school.
Prerequisites
Successful completion of the course are basic mathematical and didactic skills acquired in the previous study.

Assessment methods and criteria
Student performance, Analyssis of the Student's Portfolio, Seminar Work
