It is a serious shortcoming of our elementary texts that they fail to explain the logical notions which underlie the processes employed in proving identities and in solving equations. The situation might be less embarrassing were it not met so early. But it is at the very beginning of the study of formal algebra that it becomes necessary to distinguish between, and to deal with, identical equations and conditional equations; and, following closely upon the course in algebra, comes trigonometry with its chapter on identities.

In this paper, we comprehensively consider the problems that depend on the parameter. The necessary and sufficient conditions for the existence of a unique solution of equations and systems of equations that depend on the parameter are investigated. Finding solutions to equations and systems of equations that depend on parameters is one of the most difficult areas of elementary mathematics. To solve them, you need to find ways that require special logical thinking, which must satisfy some additional conditions, for example, to determine a single solution, a solution in a set of all possible values of unknowns, cases when all the solutions of one system are solutions of another, and so on. One of these cases is the use of invariant properties. The article uses various examples of using invariant properties of transformations to consider methods and techniques for solving equations and systems of equations that depend on a single parameter. As a result, due to the presence of invariant properties of transformations, we see that the desired solution is found quickly and easily.

This research is motivated by the lack of interest of teachers in the use of props in the process of learning mathematics in elementary school. In accordance with the demands of the curriculum in 2013 and supported by the developed learning theory, learning mathematics is abstract object of study, students need an intermediary that props math-ematics, so that students can more easily understand the concepts that will be pre-sented, and in the end it can deliver students to solve mathematical problems, not only that proposed by the teacher but also the problems in life. The purpose of this study was to determine the interest of prospective elementary teachers on the use of props mathematics after getting lectures media and elementary mathematics learning model. By knowing the interest of prospective elementary teachers will be developed further realization of the state of the subject being studied. The method used is descriptive research, then the instruments used were questionnaires and interviews. The results of this study stated that the interest of prospective elementary teachers on the use of props after attending lectures media and elementary mathematics learning model is high over-all with a percentage of 76.70%.Keywords : Interest, Props Mathematics

New laconic proofs of two classical statements of combinatorics are proposed, computational aspects of binomial coefficients are considered, and examples of their application to problems of elementary mathematics are given.
