DEVELOPMENT AND ASSESSMENT OF FUNCTIONAL LITERACY OF STUDENTS IN MATHEMATICS LESSONS

Abstract

The article discusses effective approaches to solving problems of calculating the percentage change in the price of goods in the school mathematics course as an urgent problem of the development of functional mathematical and financial literacy of students. The purpose and methods of the study are shown, as well as criteria for evaluating standard tasks and control tasks for applying mathematical knowledge and skills of students in real life are proposed. Using these approaches, there are ways to easily and quickly find solutions to problems with different levels of complexity. 

The practice of getting used to solving such vital tasks contributes to the development of functional, mathematical and financial literacy of students. Future mathematics teachers and teachers of the country will be invited to use mathematics in the learning process as an auxiliary didactic material and an assessment tool within the framework of the topic of development and assessment of functional literacy.
