DIDACTIC POSSIBILITIES OF DEVELOPING LOGICAL THINKING OF PRIMARY SCHOOL STUDENTS

School education is structured in such a way that verbal-logical thinking receives preferential development. If at first much attention is paid to working with visual examples, then starting from the third grade the volume of such activities is sharply reduced. The figurative principle loses its necessity in educational activity. Children master the techniques of mental activity, acquire the ability to act in the mind and analyze the process of their own reasoning. The development of the thinking activity of a child of primary school age has its own characteristics and is determined by a natural change of stages, in which each previous one prepares the subsequent ones. With the emergence of new forms of thinking, the old forms do not disappear, they are preserved and developed.
