METHODOLOGY FOR FORMING SPATIAL REPRESENTATIONS IN PRIMARY SCHOOL MATHEMATICS TEXTBOOKS
Keywords:
spatial representations, primary education, mathematics textbooks, geometry teaching, spatial thinking, teaching methodology, primary school students, didactic tools, visual learning, cognitive developmentAbstract
This article explores effective methodologies for forming spatial representations in primary school students through mathematics textbooks. The development of spatial thinking is considered a fundamental component of mathematical competence, especially in early education. The study analyzes the content, structure, and didactic potential of primary school mathematics textbooks, focusing on how geometric materials contribute to the formation of spatial imagination.
