“CONVENIENT” IMAGE OF GEOMETRIC FIGURES AS A MEANS FOR FORMING SPATIAL THINKING

Abstract

This paper shows the dependence of methods for solving geometric problems on images, and also suggests teaching students how to build "convenient" images that correspond to the condition of the problem. The purpose of the research: to show the place of "convenient" geometric images in the formation of students' spatial thinking. It is shown that an "uncomfortable" image that meets the condition of the problem can direct the teacher from a short and understandable path to the "other side". In this work, the following research methods were used: pedagogical observation, comparison, analysis, experiment.The result of this work is the process of learning to visualize and choose the presented "convenient" image when solving geometric problems in the formation of spatial thinking.The results can be applied in the process of teaching geometry in the formation of spatial thinking.
