The Role of Mathematics in the Formation of Pupils’ Creative Activity

The article is devoted to the problem of the development of the creative activity of students in grades 5–6 in the process of teaching mathematics. It is noted that the fulfillment of a creative task requires from students not a simple reproduction of information, but creativity, since the tasks contain a greater or lesser element of obscurity. A creative task is the content, the basis of any interactive method. A creative task (especially practical and close to the student's life) gives meaning to learning, motivates pupils. To develop the creative activity of students, you can use specially developed various software tools (Learning Apps, Mentimeter, Quzizz, etc.) in the lesson. With the help of a huge number of online services, you can create a whole collection of interactive tasks of the following nature: study an interactive lecture and answer the questions; answer questions of the test, quiz (with one or many correct answers); build a timeline and others.
