On November 13, as part of the events dedicated to the 108th anniversary of the founding of Kherson State University, the Faculty of Computer Science, Physics, and Mathematics hosted an open lecture titled "Non-standard Problems for Schoolchildren."
The lecturer was Valerii Kuzmych, PhD in Physics and Mathematics, Professor of the Department of Algebra, Geometry, and Mathematical Analysis.
The lecture had a distinct practical nature and was aimed at providing methodological support to future and current mathematics teachers. During the online meeting, the lecturer presented a selection of 15 non-standard problems covering various topics of school mathematics.
Key highlights of the lecture:
-
Valerii Ivanovych demonstrated how non-standard problem statements encourage students to move away from templates and seek creative solutions.
-
Algebraic and geometric approaches to solving complex problems (including problems with parameters) were examined.
-
All proposed problems are ready for use in teaching at secondary schools — both in lessons to deepen knowledge and during the preparation of schoolchildren for Olympiads.
Such experience is invaluable for our students — future teachers, as it is non-standard problems that most often spark the love for mathematics in schoolchildren.
