Formation of control and self-control skills in the mathematics training of young schoolchildren

The subject of mathematics occupies an extremely important place among the subjects taught in general education schools, including primary classes. It is also possible to consider the amount of hours given to the study of this subject satisfactory. In order to effectively teach mathematics, build the learning process at a high level, and facilitate mastering, subject and class teachers in grades I–IV benefit from various methods and tools, guide the principles of training in their activities, and apply various methods. The formation of control and self-control skills in the mathematics training of young schoolchildren is one of the important conditions that increase the efficiency of the training process. Since mutual control is possible in the process of collective work, and at the same time, mutual control is the basis for the development of self-control, collective work becomes the most important form of organization of the learning process in which these skills are formed. Control and self-control applied at the initial stage of education helps to strengthen the acquired skills and habits of students. Not only the content of the teaching task, but also its purpose should be clear for the students. Students should know that their observation and attention skills are being tested. This will force students to direct their actions accordingly (or create conditions for the realization of this issue). Tasks given to students in the process of teaching mathematics help to form control and self-control by developing various characteristics related to personality (attention, observation, will, etc.) due to their specificity. The methodology of working on those tasks develops the characteristics necessary for the formation of control and self-control in students. By examining and monitoring the learning activities of their peers and teachers, students engage in analysis and summarization, which in turn leads them to self-examination and self-monitoring
