DEVELOPMENT OF MATHEMATICAL SKILLS IN MATH LESSONS IN GRADES 5-6

Abstract

In the program of the mathematics course for grades 5-6, a large place is given to solving problems on percentages. Learning to solve these problems has always been seen as a necessary condition for preparing students for life. Even in the pre-revolutionary school, the study of percentages was quite closely related to the needs of commercial calculations. In modern life, the problem of interest is also relevant, as the scope of practical application of interest calculations is expanding. Everywhere-in Newspapers, on radio and television, in transport and at work-there is a discussion of rising prices, wages, rising stock prices, and a decrease in the purchasing power of the population. Commercial banks with their ads seek to attract money from the population on various terms, there is information about income on shares of various enterprises and funds, changes in the interest rate of Bank credit. All this requires the ability to make at least simple percentage calculations for comparison and selection of more favorable conditions.
