METHODOLOGY OF TEACHING PRIMARY SCHOOL STUDENTS TO SOLVE PROBLEMS USING THE EQUATION METHOD

This study explores the methodology of teaching primary school students to solve mathematical problems using the equation method. It focuses on developing early algebraic thinking, logical reasoning, and problem-solving skills through structured instructional strategies. The research highlights the importance of step-by-step teaching approaches, including problem comprehension, equation formulation, solution procedures, and result interpretation. It also emphasizes the role of modern pedagogical techniques such as scaffolding, collaborative learning, visual aids, and digital tools in enhancing students’ understanding. The findings suggest that the equation method significantly improves learners’ mathematical competence, supports conceptual understanding, and prepares students for more advanced mathematical learning in higher education levels.
