FORMATION OF EDUCATIONAL SKILLS IN SOLVING PROBLEMS THROUGH INTEGRATIVE FUNCTIONS OF THE GAME

The skill for mathematical problem solving is addressed as an insufficiently studies problem with a great amount of information in “Cognitive sciences”. The development of the concept for mathematical problem solving (and mathematics in the school curriculum in particular) has been supplemented. А model of the structure of the ability to solve problems is proposed. It comprises a set of meta-cognitive components, some of which can also be included in educational skills. Illustrated is the feasibility of integrative Game Features in solving problems. The games are considered as didactical situations for formulating hypotheses and suggesting ways for solving the problems.
