MATHEMATICAL FIGHTS AS PART OF THE EDUCATIONAL PROCESS IN THE UNIVERSITY (TEACHING OF THE PROBABILITY THEORY AS EXAMPLE)
In order to implement interactive teaching methods in the mathematical training of students examines the use of “fights” on the theory of probabilities. It is shown that compared with traditional forms of consideration and discussion of homework mathematical fights have several advantages: the emotional lift of participants, increased responsibility of each member of the team for the result, interest to complex tasks, the need for ongoing preparation for classes. Specific examples illustrate the progress of mathematical fights on the theme: “The classical definition of probability. Theorems of addition and multiplication of probabilities”. The variety of arising situations is demonstrated in terms of mathematical content and in terms of the psychology of the game.
