DEVELOPMENT OF FUNCTIONAL LITERACY IN MATHEMATICS LESSONS

Abstract

This article reveals the concept of functional literacy, describes some of its types, substantiates the need for its development. In addition, various examples of tasks aimed at developing functional literacy in mathematics lessons are given. It also presents the results of diagnostic methods that prove the development of functional literacy among students by solving the tasks given as an example in the article. The relevance of the issue considered in the article lies in the fact that the concept under consideration contributes to the development of students' ability to adapt the acquired knowledge and acquired skills to life. This work is significant in that, in addition to the theoretical justification of functional literacy and its types, it contains a variety of examples that contribute to the formation of the skill of applying knowledge by students in life. Methods used in this study: observation; analysis of theoretical sources on the research topic; questioning students; comparison of students' results based on the results of various tests, etc. The results obtained in the course of the study can be applied in the process of teaching students: to prepare students for the Pisa study, to prepare students for other exams containing practice-oriented tasks.
