MOBILE APPLICATIONS FOR LEARNING MATHEMATICS IN PRIMARY SCHOOL

Abstract

The article highlights the possibilities and prospects of using mobile applications for learning mathematics in primary school. A theoretical analysis has been conducted to outline the processes of applying digital technologies in the educational process. The study identifies both domestic and international popular mobile applications and assesses their compliance with the requirements of the New Ukrainian School. Particular attention is given to the impact of mobile technologies on learning efficiency and student achievement, as well as the identification of technical, methodological, and organizational barriers.

The importance of adapting mobile applications for offline use is emphasized, which is crucial for children in regions with limited internet access or those forced to change their place of residence due to external factors, particularly military conflicts. The advantages of mobile learning are described, including interactivity, personalization of the learning process, and the ability to adapt to students’ individual needs.

Based on the analysis of theoretical data, promising directions for the development of mobile applications aimed at forming mathematical competence in young learners have been formulated. These include the integration of artificial intelligence technologies, gamification, and augmented reality elements, which enhance student motivation.

The article concludes that a comprehensive approach is needed for the effective implementation of mobile technologies in education. This requires collaboration between the state, educational institutions, developers, and international partners to ensure accessibility and efficiency in the digitalization of education in Ukraine. Key issues such as data security, teacher training, and the development of unified standards for integrating mobile applications into the primary education system are also highlighted.
