PREPARING FUTURE MATHEMATICS TEACHERS TO SOLVE SCHOOL MATHEMATICAL PROBLEMS

The preparation of future mathematics teachers through solving mathematical problems is one of the most important directions in the education system. To im-prove the quality of school mathematics education and effectively deliver it to students, teachers need both deep theoretical knowledge and practical skills. Dur-ing the process of solving mathematical problems, future teachers not only en-hance their subject-specific knowledge but also develop analytical thinking, logi-cal reasoning skills, creative approaches, and problem-solving abilities. This pro-cess deepens students' mathematical understanding, strengthens logical reasoning skills, and fosters pedagogical expertise. The aim of this research is to develop a methodology for preparing future mathematics teachers through solving school mathematical problems and to evaluate its effectiveness. The study will employ both theoretical and empirical methods. Theoretical methods include literature analysis and the study of methodological materials. Surveys conducted with fu-ture teachers serve as empirical methods, taking into account their results. As a result of this research, a methodology for solving mathematical problems will be developed, which will contribute to enhancing the subject-specific qualifications of future teachers and employing effective approaches in working with students. Additionally, methodological guides and resources for future teachers will be proposed. This program will serve as a foundation for optimizing the educational process and improving the quality of mathematics teaching. In turn, future teach-ers will contribute to enhancing students' mathematical knowledge and increasing their interest in the subject.
