Model of Forming Mathematical Notional-Terminological Apparatus in Elementary School Children

Research Problem

In literature on teaching mathematics there are worked out general issues, systems of terms, and also some points about mastering terms. In several works there are shown stages of terminology formation. For example, terminology formation is considered as process of mastering educational material: 1) acquaintance with mathematical term (recognition, remembering); 2) introduction of term into passive dictionary of learners (understanding); 3) introduction of term into active dictionary of learners (usage).

School practice shows that teachers are not satisfied with the present methodic of terminology formation.

Understanding the importance of this problem and discontent by its solving makes teachers to seek new ways in terminology formation which sometimes appear to be more effective than traditional ones. However teachers solve as usual only partial aspects of the problem.
