APPLICATION OF DIDACTIC GAMES IN MATH LESSONS

Abstract

When analyzing the literature on the problem of this study it was concluded that the didactic game in the literature is understood as a type of activity, method of teaching and learning tool. In this study a didactic game was considered as a type of classes organized in the form of educational games, implementing a number of principles of game, active learning and distinguished by the presence of rules, a fixed structure of game activities and evaluation system, one of the methods of active learning. Didactic games in learning mathematics allow to increase students' interest in the subject, cognitive activity, and develop the ability of students, and as a consequence, improve the quality of knowledge. Classification of didactic games is carried out on various grounds. The most acceptable in teaching mathematics is the classification of didactic games according to the purpose of conducting; used to update knowledge; used to explain new material; used to reinforce new and learned material: used to control students' knowledge.
