Methodology for Teaching Future Elementary School Teachers to Solve Indirect Problems in Mathematics Education

The article discusses the methodology for teaching future elementary school teachers to solve indirect math problems. The features of such problems, their structure and significance for the development of students' logical thinking are analyzed. The views of well-known educators on the role of indirect problems in mathematics education are presented. An example of solving a complex indirect problem using various models is given. Methodological recommendations for elementary school teachers on the use of indirect problems, including the use of real-life examples and mathematical models, are described. Special attention is paid to an individual approach to each student and checking the understanding of the material.
