Information and communication technologies as a means of developing schoolchildren spatial thinking

Abstract

The article is devoted to the use of information and communication technologies for the development of schoolchildren spatial thinking in stereometry lessons. The features of modern education are considered, the urgency of the formation of schoolchildren spatial thinking for the development of a student's personality is determined. The features of the modern school geometry course and the role of spatial thinking in it are highlighted. In addition to the traditional visual aids used in geometry lessons, it is proposed to use information and communication technologies to create visual material for the development of spatial thinking of schoolchildren. An example is interactive geometric environments that can help to solve problems that arise when studying the course of stereometry and the formation of spatial thinking. The advantages and possibilities of using interactive geometric environments in geometry lessons are determined, the interface of the software "GeoGebra" and "Cabri 3D" is shown.
