METHODOLOGY OF TEACHING PROBLEMS ON CALCULATING THE VOLUME OF SPHERICAL BODIES

Shahin Aghazade, Aytaj Mammadova, Samira Hasanli

Abstract


The article investigates the problems of improving the methodology of teaching problems on calculating the volume of spherical bodies (cylinder, cone, sphere), which is one of the important sections of the geometry course in senior grades of secondary schools. The main goal of the research is to develop students' spatial thinking, form skills for applying theoretical knowledge in solving practical problems, and increase the level of preparation for final certification. The article analyzes the existing scientific and methodological literature, presents a typology of problems, and systematizes methodological approaches that can be used in the teaching process. The experimental results demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed methodology in developing spatial thinking and improving problem-solving skills. In this article, the term "spherical bodies" is used broadly to include cylinders, cones, and spheres as solids of revolution.

Keywords
