of primary school children by means of mathematics
The article describes the process of developing the moral qualities of primary school children by means of mathematics. In the Federal State Educational Standard (FSES) of General Education, moral development, education and socialization of students are defined as tasks of primary importance. The main programs of primary general education ensure the implementation of the Federal State Educational Standard, taking into account the type and type of educational institution, the needs and requests of students. All the materials used in the process of its implementation ensure moral development. It is in primary school and in the family that the foundations for the formation of moral qualities and education are laid, in accordance with the objectives and challenges of modern society. The success of schooleducation depends on how well the child is brought up at home, in the family. Home education is basic and primary. The school always continues and complements the foundations that should be laid at home. It is the parents who should instill in the child an interest in future learning. This largely determines the success of the child’s education in school, that is, how interesting and meaningful the process of “education will be. The development of moral qualities forms students understanding of what is “good” and what is “bad.” The relevance of moral education in school is evidenced by many crisis phenomena of modern life: low level of public morality; loss of family values; decline of patriotic education, etc. Moral education should be given considerable attention not only in educational work, but also in all spheres of life of primary school students. The moral qualities of juniorschoolchildren should be developed by means of each academic subject included in the curriculum. In this article, the author describes his vision of the development of moral qualities of students in the study of mathematics in elementary school.
